Incoming sensory information is sent to the brain along modality-specific channels
corresponding to the five senses. Each of these channels further parses the incoming …

▪ Abstract The newly defined field of cognitive neuroscience attempts to draw together the
study of all brain mechanisms that underlie our mental life. Historically, the major sensory …

The visual system of mammals is comprised of parallel, hierarchical specialized pathways.
Different pathways are specialized in so far as they use representations that are more …

The book you are about to read is about research that asks questions like" How do our
senses operate?"" What is the connection between nervous system activity and perception?" …

A single visual stimulus activates neurons in many different cortical areas. A major challenge
in cortical physiology is to understand how the neural activity in these numerous active …

This article relates a theoretical framework developed by British codebreakers in World War
II to the neural computations thought to be responsible for forming categorical decisions …

The primary visual cortex (V1) is probably the best characterized area of primate cortex, but
whether this region contributes directly to conscious visual experience is controversial. Early …

A central goal of cognitive neuroscience is to elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying
decision-making. Recent physiological studies suggest that neurons in association areas …

Neurons selective for binocular disparity are found in a number of visual cortical areas in
primates, but there is little evidence that any of these areas are specialized for disparity …

Death by suicide occurs in a disproportionate percentage of individuals with anorexia
nervosa (AN), with a standardized mortality ratio indicating a 57-fold greater risk of death …
