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 ...

The brain divides vision between its two hemispheres-what's on your left is processed by your right hemisphere and vice versa-but your experience with every bike or bird that you see zipping by is ...

Contrary to popular belief, the "whole-brain" has four hemispheres; two (left-right) cerebral hemispheres and two (L-R) cerebellar hemispheres. Changes in the symmetry of gray matter volume and cortex ...

But researchers were concerned about whether this procedure might have other, less desirable effects. What happens when the right and left sides of the cerebral cortex—responsible for an enormous ...

This metaphorical illustration reimagines a hidden view of the brain of a patient with hemispherotomy. In the absence of subcortical activating inputs, the disconnected cortex defaults to a sleep-like ...

The cerebellum (Latin: little brain) is located beneath the cerebrum (Latin: brain). Cerebellar means "relating to the cerebellum." There are two cerebral hemispheres called "left brain-right brain" ...

Researchers at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT report that Alzheimer’s disease disrupts at least one form of visual memory in mice by degrading a newly identified circuit that ...

Hysell V Oviedo receives funding from NIH. Your brain breaks apart fleeting streams of acoustic information into parallel channels – linguistic, emotional and musical – and acts as a biological ...

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 ...
