Study reveals hidden brain circuit behind flexible visual thinking
Nuttida Rungratsameetaweemana is challenging a story neuroscience has told for decades. According to the conventional account, our eyes collect raw information and relay it through a series of nerves and waystations that lead deep into the brain, eventually reaching the cortex.
The Neural Circuit Behind Flexible Thinking
A new study demonstrates that top-down cognitive context actively reshapes early visual processing through a specific inhibition-on-inhibition (disinhibition) circuit motif, mapping a precise mechanism for cognitive flexibility that can optimize energy efficiency in artificial intelligence.
