Basic anatomical units of the neocortex, in which neurons are arranged in vertical columns across cortical layers of the brain. Binocular rivalry A visual phenomenon in which two images, presented simultaneously to the two eyes, alternate in perception as neuronal pools coding for each eye's percep...
CHICAGO, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- Temporarily shutting off neuronal signals to a healthy part of the brain may aid stroke recovery, a study in mice by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found. The researchers triggered in mice a stroke in the part of the brain...
sensory networks in the brain must form object representations invariant to stimulus changes, such as size, orientation and context. Although Hebbian plasticity is known to shape sensory networks, it fails to create invariant object representations in computational models, raising the question of how th...
The grapheme-colour synaesthesia was chosen to study for two reasons. One was that it is common. The other was because there is a specific hypothesis as to its cause. Earlier brainscanning studies have shown that the part of the brain which identifies word shape is in an area called the ...

“Proust effect” after this passage – is likely due to the fact that unlike vision, sound or touch, our olfactory system is directly connected to the amygdala and hippocampus, areas of the brain involved in emotion and memory. These very personal experiences that can be conjured up by ...
has been shown to trigger a fear response in the amygdala, the part of the brain that is involved in emotion (e.g., LeDoux,2003). Meanwhile, Liu, Bogicevic, and Mattila (2018) have noted how the round versus angular nature of the servicescape also influences the consumer response in ser...
