HBP researchers have trained a large-scale model of the primary visual cortex of the mouse to solve visual tasks in a highly robust way. The model provides the basis for a new generation of neural ...

A team of engineers and neuroscientists has demonstrated for the first time that human brain organoids implanted in mice have established functional connectivity to the animals' cortex and responded ...

Neuroscientists want to understand how individual neurons encode information that allows us to distinguish objects, like telling a leaf apart from a rock. But they have struggled to build ...

When you see a bag of carrots at the grocery store, does your mind go to potatoes and parsnips or buffalo wings and celery? It depends, of course, on whether you're making a hearty winter stew or ...

Whether we're staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...

Our ability to store information about familiar objects depends on the connection between visual and language processing regions in the brain, according to a new study. Our ability to store ...

Optical imaging and optogenetic inactivation of dorsal mouse neocortex reveal an unexpected role for retrosplenial cortex in the context-dependent transformation of whisker sensory information into ...
