The study of visual processing and attention in near-hand space has revealed that the proximity of the hands significantly alters perceptual mechanisms. Emerging evidence indicates that objects ...

For the first time, neuroscientists from Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence (currently in the process of being established) have revealed the ...

The processing of visual information begins with a targeted and balanced communication between nerve cells in the retina via synapses. Proteins in the vicinity of nerve cells play an important role in ...

A new study in Neuron reveals that the brain’s executive center sends highly specialized, context-dependent instructions to the visual system rather than a generic broadcast signal. The findings ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development of computational models inspired by the brain's layered organization, also ...

Imagine a ball bouncing down a flight of stairs. Now think about a cascade of water flowing down those same stairs. The ball and the water behave very differently, and it turns out that your brain has ...

Neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of connections between the insect's eyes and the navigation center of its brain. With the help of ...
