A new study from the School of Neurobiology, Biochemistry, and Biophysics reveals a surprising insight into the operation of the ancestral brain: the visual cortex of turtles is capable of detecting ...

A new study by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research uses computer simulations to explore how patterns of spikes propagate in neuronal networks constrained by experimental data ...

Sea turtles that hatch from human-made nests may have less well-developed brains, sexual organs and motor skills than hatchlings from natural nests. Conservationists regularly move the eggs of ...

Based on their findings, the research team suggests that advanced visual computations previously thought to be unique to mammals, had already evolved hundreds of millions of years ago. A new study ...
