Rewire & Evolve Your Brain - Dr. Joe Dispenza

Generation of complex behaviors by the brain requires the orchestrated activity of distinct neuronal populations. In this video, Javier Stern and Sook Jin Son describe their recent findings showing th...

Paying Attention to Your Inner Self

Michael Halassa and colleagues describe how brain circuits can shift between processing information from two distinct sources: external stimuli and internally generated constructs....

Retinal Direction Selectivity Is Reversed by Visual Stimulation

A classic neural computation is that of detecting the direction of motion of an object within the visual scene. Direction-selective cells in the retina respond strongly to an image moving in the prefe...
