A new study challenges 75 year old dogma of mammalian vision. Researchers have shows the post rhinal cortex obtains visual data from the superior colliculus and is not dependent upon information from primary visual cortex.
Researchers have identified a new rule of connectivity for neurons in the neocortex, contradicting the popular belief "neurons that fire together, wire together".
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.
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.
Dramatic changes occur in the primary visual cortex when mice learn to distinguish novel from familiar visual stimuli, a new study reports.
Researchers discover the V1 brain region performs complex sequence learning.
Neuroimaging study reveals what happens in the brain when people experience visual hallucinations associated with LSD use.
A new study provides deeper insight into what happens in the brains of babies as they try to make visual sense of the world.
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.
Researchers present a new theory which explains how critical periods are triggered during neurodevelopment.
Researchers have identified cortical circuits that encode light and dark light.
While previous studies point to an overlap between perception and memory, a new study finds the two are systematically different.
