A new study published in the journal Cortex sheds light on how brain network organization differs in healthy aging and semantic dementia. Researchers found that older adults experience changes in the ...

Investigators have discovered that activity in two widely distributed brain networks previously considered separate are ...

The human brain is remarkable for its ability to synthesize sensory inputs into a coherent perception of the external world.

A study by cognitive neuroscientists at SISSA investigated how the human brain processes space and time, uncovering that ...

The brain processes space and time differently across regions, revealing a functional hierarchy in perception.

Creative people have a rich imagination but also are grounded in reality. Prior neuroscience research suggests that creative ...

In anterior regions, such as the frontal cortex, space and time are processed independently, with distinct neural populations ...

Imagine a swarm of fireflies, flickering lights on and off in the nighttime space. How does the human brain process and ...

Contemporary views of ongoing thought argue that the ability to make sense of events in the ‘here and now’ depend on the neural processing of incoming sensory information by auditory and visual cortex ...

Extracellular recordings were made from the medial superior temporal area (MST), the lateral intraparietal area (LIP) and the medial intraparietal area (MIP) in two rhesus monkeys. The animals ...

The demonstration that human thermosensory cortex is located in insular cortex, rather than in parietal somatosensory areas, is significant for several reasons. This directly confirms the ...
