The primary visual cortex (V1) is reached by the nerve fibers of the optic radiation, which carry nerve impulses from the retinas of both eyes. Until now, scientists knew little about the effects ...

Neuroscientists at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre have identified a circuit in the primary visual cortex (V1) of the brain that integrates head- and visual-motion signals. The study, published ...

Also known as the primary visual cortex, V1 responds to simple visual information such as orientation and direction. It passes on these signals to V2, which hands them off to V3, ... The scientists ...

Neuroscientists want to understand how individual neurons encode information that allows us to distinguish objects, like telling a leaf apart from a rock. But they have struggled to build ...

This area, also known as Broadman area 17 or V1, is the occipital lobe's primary visual cortex. Secondary visual cortex. The secondary visual cortex is also designated V2, V3, V4, V5, or Brodmann ...

Bypassing the primary visual cortex: how mammal brains process and react to movement. 22 Jan 2019. Written by Tristan Free (Digital Editor) Diagnostics and preclinical News. Researchers discover a new ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine created a map of neural activity in a cubic millimeter of the primary visual cortex by recording brain cell responses while the laboratory mouse ran on a ...

First off, Micah Murray and colleagues of Switzerland discuss The multisensory function of primary visual cortex in humans in a review paper published in Neuropsychologia. They criticize the ...

Blindsight is a phenomenon in which patients with damage in the primary visual cortex of the brain can tell where an object is although they claim they cannot see it. Scientists now provide ...

Blindsight is a condition that results from damage to the primary visual cortex, the part of the brain responsible for vision. Even though the injury causes vision loss, other parts of the brain ...

After training, both blind and sighted people displayed responses to echoes in their visual cortex, a finding that challenges ...
