Once their signals have been filtered by the lateral geniculate nucleus and reach the primary visual cortex (striate cortex, V1), are the sensations of form and color mediated by separate ...

Michael Savage, PhD, postdoctoral fellow, has been awarded an NEI/NIH F32 grant to study the relationship between neuronal orientation and color selectivity in the primary visual cortex. The grant is ...

But those purple and green blobs aren't the floating remains of somebody's drink. They're mysterious cells in the brain's visual cortex called oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). The findings ...

But those purple and green blobs aren't the floating remains of somebody's drink. They're mysterious cells in the brain's visual cortex called OPCs. The visual cortex processes everything we see.

In the brain there are high concentrations of male sex hormone (androgen) receptors throughout cerebral cortex ... them across the visual spectrum it became obvious that the color vision of ...

Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells, or OPCs (the purple and green blobs above), prune unneeded synapses (the silver streaks) in the brain’s visual cortex in response to new information and experiences.
