Signals pass from the retinas to the thalamus to the lateral geniculate nucleus before synapsing with neurons in V1. Also known as the primary visual cortex, V1 responds to simple visual information ...

Here we ask whether visual response pattern varies with position in the cortical microcircuit by comparing the structure of receptive fields recorded from the different layers of the cat's primary ...

The cerebral cortex of your brain is the outermost layer. ... When presented with an object, your eyes send visual information to your primary visual cortex, which is also known as V1.

The primary visual cortex (V1) is reached by the nerve fibers of the optic radiation, which carry nerve impulses from the retinas of both eyes. Until now, scientists knew little about the effects ...

The area of the cortex responsible for coordinating a flood of information from the eyes is the primary visual cortex, specifically, layers 2 and 4. Layer 2 and 4 of the primary visual cortex are ...

(Medical Xpress)—A team of bio-researchers with members affiliated with institutions in the U.K., Switzerland and Hong Kong, has found that neurons in the primary visual cortex of mice listen to ...

The mouse primary visual cortex (V1) neurons were found to have a high degree of projectional diversity and most of the individual layer 2/3 neurons were found to distribute information to ...

"For example, visual clutter in one location would drive information in a particular layer of the primary visual cortex to a lesser extent than clutter in another location," said Monika Jadi, ...

Blindsight is a condition that results from damage to the primary visual cortex, the part of the brain responsible for vision. Even though the injury causes vision loss, other parts of the brain ...

During this task, researchers recorded neural activity in the monkey’s primary visual cortex, the brain’s main gateway for visual information processing. The researchers found that the specific ...
