When visual information enters the brain, it travels through two pathways that process different aspects of the input. For decades, scientists have hypothesized that one of these pathways, the ventral ...

Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that's involved in ...

UC Santa Barbara 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.

People who pull an all-nighter or work back-to-back overnight shifts lose more than alertness. A growing body of primary ...

By activating the visual cortex electrically, those modules generate simple spots or patterns of light that the brain can try ...

Vision loss has long been treated as a one-way street, a devastating endpoint rather than a problem the brain might quietly work to solve. A wave of research is now overturning that assumption, ...

Within the human brain, movement is coordinated by a brain region called the striatum, which sends instructions to motor neurons in the brain. Those instructions are conveyed by two pathways, one that ...

Redesigned Clinical Skills Program Standardizes Training for Clinicians Treating Concussion, Brain Injury, Stroke, Dizziness, ...

A new study questions the longstanding view that the visual system is divided into two pathways, one for object-recognition and the other for spatial tasks. Using computational vision models, ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain’s visual system: one that’s responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that ...
