This useful study shows that stimuli of a certain size elicit theta oscillations in V1 neurons both in spikes and local field potentials, and monkeys performing a dot detection task on these stimuli ...

Glaucoma patients show slower visual response times, indicating impaired visual signal processing rather than motor or attention deficits. The study involved glaucoma patients and healthy controls, ...

When you slip into sleep, it's easy to imagine that your brain shuts down, but University of Michigan research suggests that groups of neurons activated during prior learning keep humming, tattooing ...
