The superior colliculus provides the majority of early visual processing in these animals. In primates, a highly complex visual cortex takes over more of this visual processing load, but 10% of ...

In the 1960s, David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel famously discovered that in the visual cortex, neurons with the same function are organized spatially in columns.

Neuroscientists want to understand how individual neurons encode information that allows us to distinguish objects, like telling a leaf apart from a rock. But they have struggled to build ...

To integrate our visual environment into a unified and coherent perceptual experience, the brain uses multiple processing strategies. Here, Nassi and Callaway review how the primate primary visual ...

Researchers at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders (NERF), led by Prof. Vincent Bonin, have published two new studies uncovering how visual information is processed and distributed in the brain.

Your visual cortex relays that information to secondary visual processing areas. These secondary areas interpret depth, distance, location, and the identity of the objects you see.

Primates acquire visual information through rapid saccadic eye movements, although little is known about their effects on neural processing of visual inputs. Here the authors demonstrate that ...

A Yale study explores how visual clutter influences perception, showing that its location affects information efficiency in the brain. It impacts the efficiency of neural communication in the primary ...

Dr. Scotrr Brincat. Contralateral processing extends into high-level functions Earlier theories suggested that although the visual cortex processes each visual hemifield in opposite hemispheres, the ...

Gene therapy partially restores visual processing in the geniculostriate pathway of patients with Leber congenital amaurosis type 2 while maintaining compensatory activity in the retinotectal pathway.

The part of the brain responsible for seeing is more powerful than previously believed. In fact, the visual cortex can essentially make decisions just like the brain's traditional 'higher level ...
