“We therefore ask the following question: Is a primary sensory region like the visual cortex, where all environmental objects ...

Pieter Roelfsema's group is working on electrodes that can be implanted directly onto the brain's visual cortex, which could ...

A multidisciplinary team of researchers at Georgia Tech has discovered how lateral inhibition helps our brains process visual information, and it could expand our knowledge of sensory perception, ...

A research team at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has uncovered a fundamental principle of how the brain prioritizes ...

The animate-inanimate category distinction is one of the general organizing principles in the primate high-level visual cortex. Much less is known about the visual cortical representations of animacy ...

As in larger brains, mouse visual cortex neurons with the same function cluster in columns. For over 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same ...

V2 exhibits interdigitated columnar organizations for color and disparity that involved feedforward and feedback processing, while the texture selectivity is primarily driven by feedback modulations ...

The striate cortex is the part of the visual cortex that is involved in processing visual information. The striate cortex is the first cortical visual area that receives input from the lateral ...

In CVI, the ocular structures (i.e. the eye, and the optic nerve head) appear normal, but the damage lies in the pathway which normally sends the information collected by the eye to the visual cortex.

In people born blind, the primary visual cortex, the brain's region known to process visual information, develops unique patterns different from those in people with sight, researchers said ...
