While stress is an unfortunate fact of modern life, scientists are still learning how it affects us. Chronic stress, in ...

After a week of stress, mice show changes in how their brains process sound, reducing how well they perceive loud noises, ...

After a week of stress, mice show changes in how their brains process sound, reducing how well they perceive loud noises, ...

The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen-like perception, thinking, memory storage ...

A new study shows that the cerebral cortex acts as a "memory machine," constantly detecting novel stimuli to refine its predictions of the future.

A study has found that the cortex acts like a "memory machine", encoding new experiences and predicting the near future, ...

After a week of stress, mice show changes in how their brains process sound, reducing how well they perceive loud noises, according to a study ...

The illustration represents how sounds are encoded in the cerebral cortex, with neurons (at right) using "echoing" activity to track auditory stimuli to change and improve the brain's predictions of ...

Animals, including humans, rely on multiple senses to navigate their environments and make decisions. This integration of ...

Here we propose an alternative model of functional segregation in the auditory cortex. Our model agrees that the ventral pathway is probably involved in perceiving auditory objects by extracting ...
