The brain’s hemispheres are specialized for efficiency. Modern neuroscience shows lateralization enhances function without ...

How you process language is influenced by how each side of your brain developed in early life. Peter Dazeley/The Image Bank via Getty Images Your brain breaks apart fleeting streams of acoustic ...

Why does the brain split visual spatial perception between its hemispheres? A new review by neuroscientists examines the advantages and trade-offs, and how the brain ultimately makes vision feel ...

A longstanding principle of neuroscience is that the brain processes visual stimuli from each side of the visual field in the opposite hemisphere: stimuli from the right side are processed in the left ...

In findings that raise a variety of questions about how our brains work, and even about the nature of consciousness, UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators report that only a small section of ...

Views at various scales of two kinds of neurons (calretinin-expressing in cyan and somatostatin-expressing in magenta) in the prefrontal cortex of a human brain. Observing anything and everything ...

People have a lot of misconceptions about what the brain's left and right hemispheres do, but one well-known aspect of this division may be even more true than people realize: The brain not only ...

Some of the most complex cognitive functions are possible because different sides of your brain control them. Chief among them is speech perception, the ability to interpret language. In people, the ...

Observing anything and everything within the human brain, no matter how large or small while it is fully intact, has been an out-of-reach dream of neuroscience for decades, but in a new study in ...

Why does the brain split visual spatial perception between its hemispheres? A new review examines the advantages and trade-offs, and how the brain ultimately makes vision feel seamless People have a ...
