Emory University and Marcus Autism Center researchers recently learned how eye contact with others when we are very young is related to brain growth. This research has the potential to identify early ...

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 ...

Gene therapy with voretigene neparvovec-rzyl partially restores geniculostriate pathway function in LCA2 patients, improving visual processing. Initial LCA2 pathology shifts visual processing from the ...

Brains constantly predict what the eyes will see next, relying on internal feedback networks that physically rewire ...

Perimetry, also known as visual field testing, is an essential diagnostic tool for assessing various ophthalmic conditions, including glaucoma, optic neuropathies, and disorders affecting the retina ...

Vision is one of the most complex functions of our brain and requires a seamless interaction between many different brain structures to decode shapes, colours, depths, and movements and turn them into ...

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, ...

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 ...
