Your brain is wired to make sense of the world quickly, but sometimes, it gets tricked by patterns, colors, and depth ...

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

The study focused on two types of inhibitory neurons in the visual cortex: parvalbumin (PV) neurons and somatostatin (SST) neurons. The researchers used optogenetics—a technique that uses light ...

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.

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 ...

It consists of the eye, retina, fibres that conduct visual information to the thalamus, the superior colliculus and parts of the cerebral cortex.
