Psychedelic substances act on the brain by binding to serotonin receptors. Scientists have identified at least 14 different receptors that respond to ...

Psychedelics can quiet the brain’s visual input system, pushing it to replace missing details with vivid fragments from ...

A high-frequency brain signal in the frontal cortex is linked to OCD compulsions. Targeted deep brain stimulation rapidly reduced symptoms in severe cases.

Researchers in China have developed a neuromorphic chip inspired by the brain’s lateral geniculate nucleus to enable real-time robotic vision.

For in dreams we enter a world that is entirely our own. Let them swim in the deepest ocean or glide over the highest cloud,” ...

The breakthrough builds on neuromorphic engineering, a field that designs hardware modeled after the human brain. Unlike traditional processors, which separate memory and computation, neuromorphic ...

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

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

Psychedelic substances are increasingly being used under medical supervision to treat anxiety disorders and depression. However, the mechanisms by which these substances influence our perception and ...

A new study has demonstrated how networks of spiking nanolasers could emulate a key principle of brain function: to imagine ...

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