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 ...

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 ...

Astrocytic GABA transporter 3 is essential for preserving the integrity of neuronal population dynamics in accurately encoding and representing sensory information.

Many people who are blind have learned how to "see" and navigate the world using echolocation like bats, shrews, and whales.
