A longstanding division exists between hippocampus-dependent and non-hippocampus dependent memory since only the latter can be acquired and retrieved in the absence of normal hippocampal functions. In agreement with the familiar ...
(Medical Xpress)—The ease and immediacy with which we recognize familiar objects escapes our notice. However, a novel, ambiguous, or highly complex object requires practice to achieve such perceptual facility. Past perceptual ...
(Medical Xpress) -- The real world is, in a word, cluttered – but thanks to evolution, we (and other mammals) have no trouble detecting objects in visually complex natural environments. Determining precisely how this ...
The human brain has distinct and highly specialized functional regions to understand languages, recognize faces and plan ahead. However, neuroscientists must still decipher the high degree of functional specialization observed ...
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 ...

(Medical Xpress)—There is seemingly no cognitive load associated with the near-instantaneous recognition of individual faces. Indeed, facial recognition is so innate and so obviously critical to human social exchange that ...
(Medical Xpress)—A team of researchers from Harvard's Psychology Department and Beijing Normal University's State Key Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning, have found differences in the way 4 year old children ...
(Medical Xpress)—An international team of researchers has found that the form of a virtual body an adult person takes in immersive virtual reality experiments can impact the perceived size of objects placed into the virtual ...
(Medical Xpress) -- In a first ever demonstration of a two-way interaction between a primate brain and a virtual body, two monkeys trained at the Duke University Center for Neuroengineering learned to employ brain activity ...
