Imagine a ball bouncing down a flight of stairs. Now think about a cascade of water flowing down those same stairs. The ball ...

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 ...

Babies' poor vision may help organize visual brain pathways by Anne Trafton, Massachusetts Institute of Technology edited by Lisa Lock, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' notes ...

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).

Figure 1: Visual pathways. a | A traditional flowchart of visual processing typically emphasizes the LGN–V1–V2–V4–TEO–TE pathway, although the scheme is not strictly hierarchical.

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 ...

In vision-based flight control of hummingbird hawkmoths, the visual field partitions by natural cue prevalence into an optic flow and dorsal directional pathway, which integrate according to their ...

Using brain scans and a novel “switch-rivalry” technique, he and his co-authors discovered that the primary visual cortex, which is the first stage of cortical visual processing, does not accurately ...
