Neurons that process stimuli from the same eye form clusters in the mouse visual cortex
For more than 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same function are grouped into columns. Now, for the first time, researchers at the Max Planck ...
Study provides first anatomical, functional representation of the ocular surface in the central nervous system
Regarding the evolutionary significance of these results, experts consider that "the high functional diversity of these ...

Development of ocular dominance columns in the absence of retinal input
The property of ocular dominance reflects the relative strength of eye-specific physiological responses in visual cortex. This results from the segregation of left and right eye-specific lateral ...

Comparative fMRI reveals differences in the functional organization of the visual cortex for animacy perception in dogs and humans
The animate-inanimate category distinction is one of the general organizing principles in the primate high-level visual cortex. Much less is known about the visual cortical representations of animacy ...

Cerebral Visual Impairment Assessment
but the damage lies in the pathway which normally sends the information collected by the eye to the visual cortex. More recently, the term CVI has been used to stand for Cerebral Visual Impairment and ...

Framework to identify food selectivity origins in the brain
Researchers have identified a region in the brain's visual cortex that responds to food and have developed a theoretical framework that could explain the origins of this selectivity. The team ...
