Study reveals mechanics of the ideal surgical knot
Think about the last time you tied your shoe: maybe you tied it tightly, or tied multiple knots to ensure the laces wouldn't come undone. You likely relied on intuition to tell you how much tension to apply to keep the laces ...

The inferotemporal cortex is key to differentiating between objects
As visual information flows into the brain through the retina, the visual cortex transforms the sensory input into coherent perceptions. Neuroscientists have long hypothesized that a part of the visual cortex called the inferotemporal ...
