For generations, adults with amblyopia were told their vision loss was permanent, a childhood problem that medicine could not ...

A new peer-reviewed study led by scientists at the Perception Dynamics Institute and the University of California San Diego ...

After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers ...

For more than a century, neuroscience textbooks have treated damaged neurons in the adult central nervous system as a dead end, especially in the delicate circuitry that carries visual information ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- 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 ...

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 ...

Garmin's "Pathways" feature, a synthetic vision display showing moving rectangles, is often found distracting but is designed to improve flight path precision. The article highlights a practical use ...

Just as cartographers have created manageable maps of our planet and enabled travel and development, our brain maps our diverse sensory inputs to our credit-card sized cerebral cortex to enable ...

Extensive research in human cognitive neuroscience has enabled detailed documentation of the functional organization of the cortex. This organization represents regions that are specifically engaged ...
