Cerebral (or cortical) visual impairment (CVI) is a brain-based visual disorder that is the leading cause of pediatric visual ...

Professional visual artists have distinctive patterns of brain structure and activity that appear to support the vivid mental ...

When animals move through complex visual environments, the brain cannot afford to analyze every detail one by one. Instead, it rapidly extracts the overall structure of the scene—for example, the mean ...

New research reveals that neurons in the visual cortex -- the part of the brain that processes visual stimuli -- change their responses to the same stimulus over time. Although other studies have ...

Modern, human-made environments that feature certain design elements can overload the brain, causing visual discomfort and ...

Even mild head injuries can mean serious consequences for brain function at its most basic level. Research published in Communications Biology shows that neuroplasticity, too, has its limits. Injuries ...

Researchers show that brain organoids -- clumps of lab-grown neurons -- can integrate with rat brains and respond to visual stimulation like flashing lights. In a study publishing in the journal Cell ...

It's hard for the octopus to pick just one party trick. It swims via jet propulsion, shoots inky chemicals at its foes, and can change its skin within seconds to blend in with its surroundings. A team ...

Nuttida Rungratsameetaweemana is challenging a story neuroscience has told for decades. According to the conventional account ...

This study shows that mouse V1 simultaneously encodes the ensemble mean and variance of motion, providing a robust summary‐statistic representation that persists despite single-neuron variability.
