          How the Brain Separates Perception From Memory

          While previous studies point to an overlap between perception and memory, a new study finds the two are systematically different.

          For Communication Between Brain Areas, Milliseconds Matter

          Researchers identified how the primary visual cortex and the lateromedial area of the cerebral cortex influence one another, and how this communication changes over rapid timespans.

          Humans Use the Visual Part of Their Brain When Hearing Sounds in the Dark, Even If They Were Born Without Sight

          Humans use the primary visual cortex to process sounds in the dark. This not only occurs in those with sight but also those who were born blind.

          The difference between an expert’s brain and a novice’s

          When learning a new task, brain activities alter over time as mice transition to an expert from a novice. The changes are reflected in neural networks and neural activity. As the animal's knowledge grows, neural networks become more focused.

          Deciphering how the brain encodes color and shape

          Visual neurons selectively respond to color and shape along a continuum. While some neurons are only activated by either a specific color or shape, others are responsive to color and shape simultaneously. The findings contradict previous beliefs about how visual processing works.

          New study reshapes understanding of how the brain recovers from injury

          Retinal ganglion cell survival following a stroke depends on whether the pathway to the primary visual area remains active. Cells connected to inactive areas of the visual cortex suffer atrophy and degenerate, leading to permanent visual impairment.
