June 13, 2022 The size of our primary visual cortex and the amount of brain tissue we have dedicated to processing visual information at certain locations of visual space can predict how well we can see, a team of ...
Oct. 12, 2023 Researchers have identified a new way of mapping ‘phosphenes’ – the visual perception of the bright flashes we see when no light is entering the eye – to improve the outcome of surgery for ...
July 12, 2022 New research demonstrates that inhibitory and excitatory neuronal circuits of the visual system develop through different processes, even if the organization of the mature circuit is similar. These ...
Nov. 16, 2021 Researchers have discovered how individual and networks of cells in an area of the brain called the retrosplenial cortex encode this angular head motion in mice to enable navigation both during the ...
Feb. 2, 2023 Researchers show that brain organoids -- clumps of lab-grown neurons -- can integrate with rat brains and respond to visual stimulation like flashing ...
June 29, 2021 Researchers have discovered that the visual cortex of mice contains a region of enhanced visual sensitivity dubbed the 'focea', making the mouse a better model of human vision than ...
Mar. 29, 2021 Information processing by the brain is altered in depressed individuals. A study conducted at the University of Helsinki found that in depressed patients, the processing of visual perceptions is also ...
May 28, 2021 Scientists have recorded blood oxygen levels in the hippocampus and provided experimental proof for why the area, commonly referred to as 'the brain's memory center', is vulnerable to ...
Mar. 8, 2022 Scientists develop a method to genetically label neurons with a single gene of interest in mice by combining the anterograde transsynaptic spread of adeno-associated virus serotype 1 (AAV1) with ...
Oct. 20, 2021 Newly published research details how a team of scientists successfully created a form of artificial vision for a blind woman using a brain ...
