Regarding the evolutionary significance of these results, experts consider that "the high functional diversity of these ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
