Comparative approaches to cortical microcircuits

Cortical microcircuits are particularly difficult to compare (across brain areas as well as across animal species), in great part because we still understand little about them and the coding principles that they express. (It is useful to remember here that we know the architecture of cerebellum in e ...

Neuroesthetics
Neuroesthetics (or neuroaesthetics) is a relatively recent sub-discipline of empirical aesthetics. Empirical aesthetics takes a scientific approach to the study of aesthetic perceptions of art and music. Neuroesthetics received its formal definition in 2002 as the scientific study of the neural bases for the contemplation and creation of a work of art. Neuroesthetics uses neuroscience to explain and understand the aesthetic experiences at the neurological level. The topic attracts scholars from many disciplines including neuroscientists, art historians, artists, and psychologists.
