In adults, three key areas of the brain are known to respond specifically to faces. These include the fusiform face area (FFA), the superior temporal sulcus (STS), and the medial prefrontal cortex ...

New research reveals how early-life blurry, low-color vision may help shape the brain’s visual pathways into specialized systems.

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 ...

Children with disability are at a substantially higher risk of visual impairment (VI) (10.5% compared with 0.16%) but also of ocular disorders of all types, including refractive errors and strabismus.

And that a different set of face-sensitive visual regions-again in almost identical positions in each reader's brain-would activate to process the faces of the researchers, should you meet them?

The study will include children aged between 6 months and 14 years, both with normal or abnormal visual development. The project will be divided in two consecutive phases: design and training of an ...

The infant brain is rapidly developing, and these changes are reflected in scalp electroencephalography (EEG) features, including power spectrum and sleep spindle characteristics. These biomarkers not ...

Ferret brain study explores how reliable visual representations emerge during development by Ingrid Fadelli, Phys.org Editors' notes ...

CVI encompasses a spectrum of visual impairments caused by an underlying brain abnormality that affects the development of visual processing pathways and is characterized by deficits in visual ...

Cerebral visual impairment (CVI) is a disorder caused by damage to the parts of the brain that process vision. It’s most common in infants and young children, but can continue into adulthood. A child ...
