For decades, textbooks told students the human brain contained 100 billion neurons. That figure, repeated so often it became ...

The survival of an animal depends critically on the ability of the nervous system to detect and transform sensory stimuli into appropriate motor actions. In the presence of a looming aerial predator ...
