Researchers have uncovered a surprising connection between a cancer-related signaling pathway and the blood-brain and blood-retina barriers.

New research reveals how early-life blurry, low-color vision may help shape the brain’s visual pathways into specialized systems.

Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for ...

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 ...

Gene therapy partially restores visual processing in the geniculostriate pathway of patients with Leber congenital amaurosis type 2 while maintaining compensatory activity in the retinotectal pathway.

These insights into the fruit fly’s anterior visual pathway contribute to a suite of papers reporting the neuronal wiring of the entire fruit fly brain, published in the journal Nature.

Neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of connections between the insect's eyes and the navigation center of its brain. With the ...
