Visual scene analysis relies on a set of scene-selective regions in the posterior cerebral cortex (OPA, PPA, MPA), with a paired memory-responsive counterpart located in the anterior (LPMA, VPMA) or o...

Vision science has demonstrated considerable success in characterizing early- and mid-level visual processes through reductionism and tightly controlled experiments. However, an understanding of high-...

He was killed a year ago, but the machines absorbed and remembered everything about him.

Using a combined approach of monkey electrophysiology, artificial neural networks and human psychophysics, Xue et al. show that neuronal interference from irrelevant information underlies behavioral e...

A three-day live-online course on fMRI acquisition and analysis with Statistical Parametric Mapping, Independent Component Analysis, and more. Taught by Vince Calhoun, Kent Kiehl, and Tor Wager.

Sighted people rely on vision to recognize and navigate the local environment. By adulthood, human cortex contains at least three regions that resp...

The role of the cerebellum in motor functions is well understood. But why is the same circuitry engaged in functions such as working memory, language, and social cognition? This Unsolved Mystery…

To decide how to move around the world, we must determine which locomotive actions (e.g., walking, swimming, or climbing) are afforded by the immed...

Join us to explore neuro-foundation models. March 31-April 1, 2025 in Mont Tremblant, Canada.

Humans lack memories for specific events from the first few years of life. We investigated the mechanistic basis of this infantile amnesia by scanning the brains of awake infants with functional magne...

This scientific commentary refers to ‘Visual feature processing in a large stroke cohort: evidence against modular organization’ by Lugtmeijer, Sobolewska

As a social species, humans preferentially attend to the faces and bodies of other people. Previous research revealed specialized cognitive mechanisms…

Behavioural-state-dependent pyramidal neurons have a distinct pattern of long-range glutamatergic inputs, with a larger proportion of thalamic versus motor cortex inputs compared with non-behavio...

Learning requires changing the brain. This typically occurs through experience, study, or instruction. We report an alternate route for humans to a...
