A new study investigates the relationship between brain plasticity and vision loss.
Researchers discover the V1 brain region performs complex sequence learning.
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.
Researchers document the role noradrenaline plays in modulating the primary visual cortex.
Researchers find neural activation patterns were predictive of the contents of voluntary visual imagery as far as 11 seconds before the choice of what to imagine. These results suggest that the contents of future visual imagery can be biased by current or prior neural representations.
Dramatic changes occur in the primary visual cortex when mice learn to distinguish novel from familiar visual stimuli, a new study reports.
Researchers report they have identified neurons in the visual cortex that selectively respond to an intermediate color, not just primary colors.
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.
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.
According to researchers, the brain uses similar calculations to measure the speed and direction of objects in motion whether they are visually perceived or touched.
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 say measuring signals from a single neuron may be as good as capturing information from many neurons at once.
