Researchers report signals from the retina are subjected to selective processing at the earliest neural way-station in the functional pathway connecting the retina to the visual cortex.
Researchers have identified a link between visual processing problems and an increased risk of developing a mental health disorder. The study reports the risk for mental illness increases when the visual cortex has difficulty communicating with networks associated with focus and introspection.
Study links brain structure to color perceptual function. Microscopy revealed 'hue maps,' or color palettes, in the brain that are spectrally organized arrangements of hue responses.
A new study reveals how patterns of neural activity in the retrosplenial cortex assist with navigation and spatial memory.
Researchers discover increased brain size in areas such as the visual cortex are an essential element of evolution.
Study offers new clues about how the brain processes near-death scares and other traumatic autobiographical memories.
Researchers succeed in restoring the ability of adult mice to form new connections in the brain.
Researchers induce people to perceive colors that were't really there and provide evidence that the V1 and V2 visual areas are capable of associative learning.
Researchers report they have identified neurons in the visual cortex that selectively respond to an intermediate color, not just primary colors.
Researchers have identified neurons in the visual cortex that enable the detection of moving objects as we move along.
New findings from Max Plank Institute researchers challenges conventional belief about the role of the thalamus in learning. Researchers report the thalamus plays a far more active role in visual processing in the context of learning than previously thought.
Researcher report a brain region which responds to a particular category of objects consists of a small cluster of neurons which encodes the visual features of these objects.
