How does the brain see the "big picture"? A new study reveals that the primary visual cortex (V1) calculates statistical ...
When animals move through complex visual environments, the brain cannot afford to analyze every detail one by one. Instead, ...
Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published Nov. 25 in Neuron, finds in mice that via specific circuits, ...
An image from the research shows axons from neurons in the ACA (red) and ORB (green) innervating the visual cortex, targeting discrete layers. Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT ...
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 ...
Researchers at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders (NERF), led by Prof. Vincent Bonin, have published two new studies uncovering how visual information is processed and distributed in the brain. The ...
