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 pathways, the ventral ...
Researchers discover a new visual pathway that bypasses the primary visual cortex in mice, a structure previously considered essential to all visual processing. The newly discovered pathway (red).
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 117, No. 23 (June 9, 2020), pp. 13066-13077 (12 pages) Layer 6 (L6) is the sole purveyor of corticothalamic (CT) ...
In all people with CVI, these visual pathway abnormalities result in some degree of functional vision impairment, which ...
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 ...
Chris Tailby receives funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia. The brain is key to our existence, but there’s a long way to go before neuroscience can truly capture ...
Extensive research in human cognitive neuroscience has enabled detailed documentation of the functional organization of the cortex. This organization represents regions that are specifically engaged ...
Our eyes are constantly making saccades, or little jumps. Yet the world appears to us as a smooth whole. Somehow, the brain's visual system "knows" where the eyes are about to move and is able to ...
A new explanation for some of the symptoms of fragile X syndrome, the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability, has been proposed by researchers. Their explanation suggests new targets ...
