Preclinical studies on animals have identified brain pathways that drive quick, protective fear responses to "scary" sounds.

When visual information enters the brain, it travels through two pathways that process different aspects of the input. For decades, scientists have hypothesized that one of these pathways, the ventral ...

Researchers identify a brain pathway in humans that enables rapid, unconscious fear responses to scary sounds, similar to ...

Scientists have discovered a brain pathway that explains why scary sounds can trigger fear before you even understand what ...

Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that's involved in ...

UC Santa Barbara neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of neural connections between the insect’s eyes and the navigation center of its ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain’s visual system: one that’s responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that ...

The findings, in mice, add fuel to evidence that processes governing active movement and sensory processing in the brain are tightly connected A new study by researchers at the University of Oregon ...

In the different rooms, the workings of the brain are illustrated by drawings of the men carrying out various tasks. The caption reads, “Imagine your brain as the executive branch of a big business.
