The brain processes space and time differently across regions, revealing a functional hierarchy in perception.

In anterior regions, such as the frontal cortex, space and time are processed independently, with distinct neural populations ...

Imagine a swarm of fireflies, flickering lights on and off in the nighttime space. How does the human brain process and integrate information about duration and spatial position enabling this vision?

Yet it is increasingly clear that cognitive functions ... in the parietal lobes on the sides of the brain. The last area of the brain to reach maturity is the prefrontal cortex, where the so ...

These also fulfill critical functions ... the temporal lobe, the parietal lobe, and the occipital lobe—with one of each on either half of the brain. The cerebral cortex is the thin, outermost ...

Investigators have discovered that activity in two widely distributed brain networks previously considered separate are ...

Extracellular recordings were made from the medial superior temporal area (MST), the lateral intraparietal area (LIP) and the medial intraparietal area (MIP) in two rhesus monkeys. The animals ...

The cutaneous sense of temperature is a distinct form of somatic sensibility mediated by specific primary afferent receptors, yet its representation in the brain is unknown 1,2. Thermoreception ...

The human brain is remarkable for its ability to synthesize sensory inputs into a coherent perception of the external world.
