This important study presents a new method for longitudinally tracking cells in two-photon imaging data that addresses the specific challenges of imaging neurons in the developing cortex. It provides ...

There are two main theories that pertain to the role of the primary visual cortex (V1) in visual awareness. Hierarchical models propose that although V1 provides necessary input, only high-level ...

Mouse visual cortex wiring diagram and functional map offers insight into human brain complexity and cognition.

Mapping one cubic millimeter of a mouse’s visual cortex The researchers digitally disentangled tens of thousands of individual tree-like neurons, traced each neuron’s distinct system of branches, then ...

A study found that individuals with migraines or other headaches show increased excitability in the visual cortex following visual stimulation. This suggests a shared neurological mechanism between ...

The visual cortex is just one element of embodied AI, however. For a robot to work completely autonomously in the real world, it must also be capable of manipulating real-world objects.

Using a non-invasive stimulation on the brain may be effective in reducing the frequency of visual hallucinations in blind patients, a new study has found.

Visual snow syndrome involves flickering dots in your field of vision. It’s unclear what causes it, but experts suspect it has neurological origins.

The visual cortex, the part of the brain that receives information from the eyes, has been known to respond to sound or touch in people who are blind. Researchers have now shown it may be ...

Injuries to the posterior occipital cortex are common in humans. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to long-term visual impairment (like loss of visual acuity).

The visual cortex, a specialized region responsible for visual processing, contains intricate neural circuits that evaluate information arriving from our eyes and preferentially respond to ...

The visual cortex and its network of neurons evolved to receive, process, and integrate visual information that enters the brain through the eyes.
