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 ...

Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for ...

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 ...

A Serendipitous Shadow Brought the Brain’s Visual Pathways to Light David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel discovered how the cerebral cortex processes visual information. Their research won them the Nobel ...

The developing field of connectomics – the attempt to produce a neuron-and-synapse-level wiring diagram of the brain – has taken a major leap forward, as a Janelia team with the help of Google ...

The FlyWire consortium set out to create a complete wiring diagram of the fly brain and tools for the community to access it.

Vision-restoring gene therapy also strengthens visual processing pathways in brain Surprisingly rapid regrowth of unused brain connections after decades of near blindness Date: July 15, 2015 ...

Despite its advantages, which include simplicity and portability, the true potential of fNIRS remains unexplored in many regions of the brain. Previous studies have used fNIRS to detect brain activity ...

Light arriving from the right visual field is processed in the brain’s left hemisphere. So damage to the left part of the primary visual cortex will result in blindness in the right visual field.

"Previous studies have examined changes in the visual cortex of mice during running. What was unknown was how do running and vision get linked together in the first place?" said Cristopher Niell ...

The findings, in mice, add fuel to evidence that processes governing active movement and sensory processing in the brain are tightly connected A new study by researchers at the University of Oregon ...
