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 ...

Now they have found that this so-called "contagious itching" is controlled through a visual pathway, that surprisingly, operates independently of the visual cortex, the area of the brain that ...

These insights into the fruit fly’s anterior visual pathway contribute to a suite of papers reporting the neuronal wiring of the entire fruit fly brain, published in the journal Nature.

Visual function depends on two key parallel visual pathways: the magnocellular (M) pathway, which processes motion and broad visual patterns, and the parvocellular (P) pathway, which handles fine ...

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).

Seeing through the eyes of a crab New research provides insight into the visual world of a crustacean Date: July 16, 2018 Source: Society for Neuroscience Summary: Crabs combine the input from ...

Gene therapy with voretigene neparvovec-rzyl partially restores geniculostriate pathway function in LCA2 patients, improving visual processing. Initial LCA2 pathology shifts visual processing from ...

A functional subcortical visual pathway to the amygdala in humans The pathway through the superior colliculus and pulvinar to the amygdala is not simply 'assumed' by analogy from its equivalent in ...

Crabs combine the input from their two eyes early on in their brain's visual pathway to track a moving object, finds new research published in JNeurosci. This study of adult male crabs from ...

“We’ve been able to show where it happens in the visual pathway, which is relatively early,” said Prof. Steven Shevell, a leading scholar of color and brightness perception. “It’s like a road map that ...
