Researchers at Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence (currently in the process of being established) have revealed the precise connections between sensory ...

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 ...

Researchers have discovered that the retina uses an unexpected communication network that lets separate visual pathways cooperate instead of working alone. A newly identified "commander" cell appears ...

The visual perception of optical stimuli demands high performance from the brain. Every second, the eyes absorb more than 10 million pieces of information and transmit them to the brain via thousands ...

The environment experienced by young zebrafish influences both the shape and electrical activity of the neurons in the eye, which impacts subsequent behavior. Neuroscientists at King's College London ...

Share on Pinterest New research involving cones and rods in the retina could lead to new treatments for vision loss. Gregory Adams/Getty Images Cone photoreceptors in retinal degeneration have been ...

The environment experienced by young zebrafish influences both the shape and electrical activity of the neurons in the eye, which affects subsequent behavior.

Results point to potential to restore vision with drugs, non-invasively, reversibly, via a mechanism that is independent to ...

Neuroscientists have revealed the precise connections between sensory neurons inside the retina and the superior colliculus, a structure in the midbrain. Neuropixels probes are a relatively recent ...
