CAMBRIDGE, MA -- 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 ...

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 ...

A new neuroscience study suggests that expert birdwatchers may develop structural brain changes linked to attention, perception, and cognitive health.

People who lose their visual imagination after a stroke share damage to a single neural circuit. A new analysis maps these ...

UC Santa Barbara neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of neural connections between the insect’s eyes and the navigation center of its ...

Imagine a ball bouncing down a flight of stairs. Now think about a cascade of water flowing down those same stairs. The ball and the water behave very differently, and it turns out that your brain has ...

Every time the human eye darts from one point to another, the retinal image smears across the visual field. These rapid jumps, called saccades, happen several times per second, yet the world never ...

The findings, in mice, add fuel to evidence that processes governing active movement and sensory processing in the brain are tightly connected A new study by researchers at the University of Oregon ...
