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

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

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- 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 ...

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 ...

Every time the human eye darts from one point to another, the retinal image smears across the visual field. These rapid jumps ...

Imagine arriving at a busy location with people moving around and a multitude of visual and other sensory cues vying for your ...

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 ...
