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 ...

A new study questions the longstanding view that the visual system is divided into two pathways, one for object-recognition and the other for spatial tasks. Using computational vision models, MIT ...

Hubel and Wiesel initially demonstrated that, further along the visual pathway in the cortex, cells in a brain region called the geniculate nucleus also respond to spots of light. They wanted to build ...

UC Santa Barbara neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of connections between the insect's eyes and the navigation center of its brain.

Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that's involved ...

Neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of connections between the insect's eyes and the navigation center of its brain. With the ...

Researchers at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders (NERF), led by Prof. Vincent Bonin, have published two new studies uncovering how visual information is processed and distributed in the brain.

A discovery about how some visually impaired adults could start to see offers a new vision of the brain's possibilities. The adult brain has the potential to partially recover from inherited ...

image: Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have identified a pathway in the brains of mice, independent of the visual cortex, that is activated when the animals ...

Adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing (TD) individuals process visual representations of body parts in similar ways, according to a new brain imaging study published in ...
