Just like humans, praying mantids can see in 3D. Studying how their brains accomplish this might help us build machines that can do the same.
A bug’s life: 3D vision in humans and praying mantids
Life from the machine
Researchers are taking what we know about how neurons communicate and digitizing it.
A new type of rhythm: eta
Scientists discovered a new type of rhythmicity in brain activity when rats are in a virtual reality. What does it mean to be in the matrix?
3 Notable Neuroscience Discoveries in 2021
Neuroscience wrapped: as we move into a new year, let’s reflect on some notable discoveries in the field of neuroscience from 2021.
What’s a neural circuit?
How does the human brain work better than the best supercomputer?
Restoring Sight to the Blind
Restoring sight to the blind sounds like science fiction, but a recent study puts us one step closer to making this fantasy a reality.
