Vision loss has long been treated as a one-way street, a devastating endpoint rather than a problem the brain might quietly ...

A new peer-reviewed study led by scientists at the Perception Dynamics Institute and the University of California San Diego ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- When visual information enters the brain, it travels through two pathways that process different aspects of the input. For decades, scientists have hypothesized that one of these ...

After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers ...

UC Santa Barbara neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of neural connections between the insect’s eyes and the navigation center of its ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain’s visual system: one that’s responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that ...

A new study in Neuron reveals that the brain’s executive center sends highly specialized, context-dependent instructions to the visual system rather than a generic broadcast signal. The findings ...

New findings suggest neurons have much more functional dexterity than scientists previously realized. Our brains begin to create internal representations of the world around us from the first moment ...

Why do our mental images stay sharp even when we are moving fast? A team of neuroscientists led by Professor Maximilian Jösch at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) has identified a ...
