David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel discovered how the cerebral cortex processes visual information. Their research won them the ...

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 ...

Q: How does the brain perceive a 3D image? We know a great deal ... information along bundles of nerve fibers or pathways to our primary visual cortex. It’s now known that this visual ...

These insights into the fruit fly’s anterior visual pathway contribute ... which then led to a 3D reconstruction of the entire neural network of that fly’s brain. But it was not perfect ...

to measure changes in brain activity in the geniculostriate (GS) pathway, which includes the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) and primary visual cortex (V1) involved in conscious visual perception ...

What was even more mind-blowing was that the signals coming from the same-side eye pathway activated five-fold more neurons in the brain after the treatment and this impressive effect was long-lasting ...

This means the 3D-printing method could eventually help study how healthy portions of the brain interact with parts affected by Alzheimers, examining cell signal pathways in Downs syndrome ...
