When a person's hearing and vision are uncompromised and function at a relatively high level, the human brain is able to take ...

Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have collaborated with several universities to develop a new ...

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 ...

A multidisciplinary team of researchers at Georgia Tech has discovered how lateral inhibition helps our brains process visual ...

Now, for the first time, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence have been able to demonstrate these structures in the visual cortex of mice: here, neurons that process ...

They discovered that individual cells in the primary visual cortex of mice use motor and vestibular signals to determine whether visual flow on the retina might by due to visual motion in the ...

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 ...

This important study examined orientation representations along the visual hierarchy during perception and working memory. The authors provide results suggesting that during working memory there is a ...

Their paper, published in Nature Neuroscience, unveils patterns of cortical activity occurring in the ferret visual cortex before and after newly born pups first open their eyes. "The fundamental ...

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 ...
