Now that examples of multisensory neurons have been observed across the neocortex, this has led to some confusion about the features that actually designate a region as "multisensory." While the documentation of multisensory effects within many different cortical areas is clear, often little ...

What does the olfactory nerve control?The Olfactory Nerve:The olfactory nerve is the first of twelve pairs of cranial nerves (cranial nerves exit from the base of the brain and extend out into the head and face). The olfactory nerve is the shortest of the cranial nerves, and it extends ...
A sizable chunk of the world's population attributes these strange events to extrasensory perception (ESP), a special sense beyondvision,hearing,smell, touch and taste. People sometimes refer to it as a sort of sixth sense. Unlike ordinary senses, ESP has virtually unlimited range, and people ...
XR is increasing the immersive experience, by adding more sensory inputs, integrating with more wearable technologies, and using generative AI to create faster and more realistic and interactive virtual environments for collaboration and meeting spaces, such as the Meta Horizon OS that will provide wo...
The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of your brain’s surface, located on top of the cerebrum. The cerebral cortex carries out essential functions of your brain, like memory, thinking, learning, reasoning, problem-solving, emotions, consciousness, and sensory functions. ...
By placing the electrode in a region of the brain known as the anterior cingulate cortex, we aimed to find out how psilocybin affects the neural circuits shown to be associated with emotional processing and internal awareness (interoception). This region of the brain is also part of ...
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the functional psychosomatic gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) that, despite differences in location and symptom patterns, share common features with regard to their motor and sensory physiology, central nervous system (CNS) relationships, and the approach to ...
the experience of being a ‘self’, which I argue is not an inner essence that ‘does’ the perceiving, but rather a collection of perceptions itself. The self, in my view, is a special kind of controlled hallucination that has been shaped by evolution to regulate and control the living ...
The precise locations that correspond to the vagina, cervix and female nipples on the brain’s sensory cortex have been mapped for the first time, proving that vaginal stimulation activates different brain regions to stimulation of the clitoris. The study also found a direct link between the nippl...
