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, the ...

A new study questions the longstanding view that the visual system is divided into two pathways, one for object-recognition and the other for spatial tasks. Using computational vision models, MIT ...

UC Santa Barbara neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of ...

We know a great deal about how the brain processes 3D information, ... Whether blindsight is the result of different visual pathways or severely degraded normal vision, ...

Hubel and Wiesel initially demonstrated that, further along the visual pathway in the cortex, cells in a brain region called the geniculate nucleus also respond to spots of light. They wanted to build ...

Overall, the results support the idea that low-quality sensory input early in life may contribute to the organization of sensory processing pathways of the brain, the researchers say. The findings do ...

Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that's involved in ...

Neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of connections between the insect's eyes and the navigation center of its brain. With the ...

The fact that this treatment works so well in the central visual pathway in adulthood supports a new concept, which is that there is latent potential for vision that is just waiting to be triggered." ...
