When we watch someone move, get injured, or express emotion, our brain doesn’t just see it—it partially feels it. Researchers found eight body-like maps in the visual cortex that organize what we see ...

The team identified different brain networks involved in processing scenes with people, inanimate objects, action, and dialogue. They also revealed how different executive networks are prioritized ...

A brain-imaging study of people with amputated arms has upended a long-standing belief: that the brain’s map of the body reorganizes itself to compensate for missing body parts. Previous research had ...

Every day, various types of sensory information fromthe external environment are transferred to the brainthrough different modalities and then processed to generate a series of coping behaviors. Among ...

New fMRI evidence shows that the brain’s hand and lip maps remain stable years after amputation, reshaping our understanding of neuroplasticity and guiding future prosthetic and rehabilitation ...
