Researchers report life experiences may be transgenerationally inherited through a combination of epigenetics and parental behavior.
A new study reports our brains fill in the color when we look at black and white images.
Study provides new evidence supporting the theory that perceptual limitations are caused by a correlated noise in neural activity.
Researchers detail how the visual cortex and retina work together in visual motion perception.
Where objects appear in a person's visual field can affect the ability to determine what the object is, researchers say.
MEG neuroimaging implicates the occipital place area (OPA) in our ability to rapidly sense our surroundings. The findings may advance improving machine learning and robotics technology aimed at mimicking visual processes in the human brain.
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.
The neuropeptide somatostatin improves visual processing and cognitive behaviors by reducing excitatory inputs to parvalbumin-positive interneurons in mice.
Researchers are able to predict how well a person can see based on the unique structure of their primary visual cortex.
Researchers document the role noradrenaline plays in modulating the primary visual cortex.
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.
Researchers report their new artificial neural network can identify objects as well as the primate brain can.
