Much as a pilot might practice maneuvers in a flight simulator, scientists might soon be able to perform experiments on a realistic simulation of the mouse brain. In a new study, Stanford Medicine ...

The MICrONS Project set out to create a massively dense reconstruction of the structural connections and functions of an entire millimeter volume of mouse visual cortex, along with new artificial ...

For more than 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same function are ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published in Neuron, finds in mice that, via specific circuits, the ...

When one eye is deprived of vision early in life, it can lead to amblyopia, a condition more commonly known as lazy eye. This happens because a lack of input disrupts synapse formation in the brain's ...
