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 ...

UC Santa Barbara neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of neural connections between the No paywalls. No subscriptions.

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

The newly discovered pathway (red). Image credit: UC San Francisco (UCSF, CA, USA) Recent research conducted at UCSF and led by Riccardo Beltramo has uncovered a new pathway in the brain that bypasses ...

If this pathway is lost, the individual becomes blind. However, scientists have now found that visual information can be rerouted in the brain to avoid damaged areas. The second pathway is through ...

A recent study from the University of Pennsylvania investigates how gene therapy targeting mutations in the RPE65 gene changes the brain's visual processing pathways. The study, published in Brain ...

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

SSD occurs when parvo-pathway signals suppress magno-pathway signals immediately after a saccade. The understanding the mysterious phenomenon, visual stability across saccades, would help future ...

Now, Shevell hopes these new findings can lead to research that clarifies how the different regions of the visual pathway accomplish the transition to human color perception. “We can zero in and do ...
