Research may provide clues to sensory brain disorders
by Queensland Brain Institute Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain How the human brain adapts to external stimulation—an important mechanism for species survival—has been made clearer by University of Queensland (UQ) research. Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) researchers Dr. Reuben Rideaux and Professor Jason Mattingley have discovered that two distinct processes are triggered in the human brain when exposed to prolonged or repeated sensory...
