          How Our Brain Stabilizes Vision Amid Constant Eye Movement

          A new study reveals how the brain compensates for rapid eye movements, maintaining a stable visual perception despite dynamic visual input. Researchers found that this stability mechanism breaks down for non-rigid motion like rotating vortices, leading to visual instability.

          Brain Processes Sentence Structures as Fast as Visual Scenes

          The human brain can detect the structure of a short sentence in as little as 150 milliseconds, the speed of a blink. Using brain imaging, scientists found that the brain's language comprehension system processes sentences flashed on a screen similarly to how it perceives a visual scene.

          How Visual Clutter Disrupts Information Flow in the Brain

          A new study reveals that visual clutter alters how information flows between neurons in the brain’s primary visual cortex, but not the order in which it's processed. Researchers found that the efficiency of information transfer changes depending on the location of clutter in the visual field.

          Targeting Protein Reduces Macular Degeneration Symptoms

          New research identifies a protein, TIMP3, overproduced in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) that may drive the disease’s progression. By targeting the enzyme linked to inflammation and drusen formation, scientists reduced early signs of AMD in stem cell models, offering hope for new treatments.

          Reduced Brain Response to Visual Cues Linked to Psychosis in Parkinson’s

          People with Parkinson's disease (PD) who experience visual hallucinations have reduced brain responses to unexpected visual changes, a marker known as visual mismatch negativity (vMMN). Using EEG, researchers compared brain activity in PD patients with and without hallucinations and discovered that those with hallucinations showed weaker vMMN signals.

          How Flickering Light Induces Hallucinations

          A new study reveals how flickering lights can trigger hallucinations by causing standing waves in the brain's visual cortex. Researchers observed that high-frequency flickering lights create ripple-like waves of neural activity, which turn into standing waves at higher frequencies.

          Gene Therapy Offers Hope for Glaucoma and AMD

          A newly developed gene therapy shows great potential for treating glaucoma, a condition that can lead to vision loss. The therapy protects retinal ganglion cells, essential for vision, and improves their function in animal models of glaucoma. It also enhances energy production in human retinal cells, which could prevent further damage. This therapy offers a new and promising approach to treating a condition that affects millions worldwide.

          A new gene therapy has restored vision in patients with Leber congenital amaurosis type I (LCA1), a rare genetic condition causing blindness. In a small trial, those receiving the highest dose saw up to a 10,000-fold improvement in light sensitivity and significant gains in reading and navigation abilities.

          Brain Circuit Unveils Secrets of Visual Object Memory

          Researchers have identified how the brain stores and recalls visual object memory, crucial for tasks like navigation and problem-solving. By studying macaques, they discovered that the anterior ventral temporal cortex (aVTC) and the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) work together in this process, with OFC regulating memory-related activities in aVTC neurons. The findings could pave the way for new treatments for memory deficits in dementia.

          How the Brain Learns and Integrates Prior Knowledge with New Information

          The brain builds a hierarchy of knowledge, connecting lower-order sensory details to higher-order concepts, shaping our perception of the world. A new study reveals how visual experience influences the brain’s feedback connections, allowing us to integrate context and recognize patterns based on past experiences. Researchers found that visual input refines these connections, enhancing our ability to interpret complex stimuli and update our understanding of the environment.

          Researchers used Game of Thrones to study how the brain recognizes faces, providing insights into prosopagnosia, a condition affecting facial recognition in 1 in 50 people. MRI scans showed increased brain activity in regions associated with character knowledge in fans of the series, but reduced activity in those unfamiliar with the show and in prosopagnosia patients.
