A series of recent brain-imaging studies has begun to explain a central mystery of the psychedelic experience: why people on ...

Psychedelics appear to reshape how the brain builds reality by dampening incoming visual signals and boosting internal memory ...

A single clear image can rewire the visual brain, making later recognition faster without relying on memory systems.

New research shows how psychedelics alter visual processing and boost memory-linked brain circuits to generate hallucinations, revealing mechanisms with therapeutic implications.

The eyes are often referred to as the “windows to the soul.” In fact, there is a grain of neurobiological truth to this. An international research team from the Universities of Göttingen and Tübingen, ...

In a recent study published in Communications Biology, researchers from Hong Kong, Singapore, and Germany used high-resolution brain imaging to show that psychedelics may redirect visual processing ...

That sharp flinch during a violent movie scene is familiar to many people. A hand slams, a body falls, and your own muscles tighten in response.

The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting ...

Neuroscientists studying the eye’s blind spot have found that brain cells in the primary visual cortex, or V1, fire even when ...
