A computational study of cat primary visual cortex shows that motion direction and temporal frequency are encoded in subtle, ...

A new study led by biologists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, reveals how the primary visual cortex establishes ...

Whether we're staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...

Vision shapes behavior, and a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published in Neuron, finds in mice that, via specific circuits, the ...

Scientists studying brain process involved in sight have found the visual cortex also uses information gleaned from the ears as well as the eyes when viewing the world. They suggest this auditory ...

The team utilized the brain’s contralateral processing, in which visual information from one field is processed by the opposite hemisphere. By presenting visual stimuli to only the left or right side ...

Despite the nursery rhyme about three blind mice, mouse eyesight is surprisingly sensitive. Studying how mice see has helped researchers discover unprecedented details about how individual brain cells ...

A UAB study found that brain regions used for attention-heavy tasks develop uniquely individualized connections, revealing how experience shapes neural wiring and offering new insights into brain ...

Nerve fibers (dark lines) from a higher visual area (A) grow into the primary visual cortex (B, green arrowheads) in the developing mouse brain, carrying “feedback” signals. UC Santa Cruz researchers ...

Whether we’re staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...
