Using eyes made of a calcium carbonate crystal, a simple mollusk may have evolved enough vision to spot potential predators,...
Developmental processes are increasingly well-characterized at the molecular and cell biological levels, but how more complex tissues and organs involving...
The moment we open our eyes, we perceive the world with apparent ease. But the question of how neurons in...
Most people can read texts reflected in a mirror slowly and with some effort, but a team of scientists from...
A database on what colors flowers appear to be viewed as by bees has been collected and is freely searchable. The data is collected in the Floral Refelctance Database also known as FReD.
Recent visual neuroscience research provides evidence that blind people process the sense of touch faster than people with normal vision. The research also found that each blind person's tactile perception time was nearly equal to their average speed of their finger moving from one Braille character to the next.
UCL neuroscientists have shown that a single neuron, and even a single dendrite, can respond differently to unique sequences of input.
Researchers have developed a camera system that mimics the bee eye. The artificial bee eyes allow the researchers to take images that are believed to be similar to the bee's viewpoint.
Mice without rods and cones were able to use ipRGCs to detect light and possibly form low acuity images.
Neurobiologists have succeeded in singling out the response of individual fly brain cells to specific movement stimuli.
