In a new study from Virginia Tech, neuroscientists reveal a surprising clue about how the intricate visual processing system forms during early brain development.

A new study from Brown researchers finds that rewards improve performance on a visual perceptual task only if participants sleep after training.

Researchers at the Picower Institute at MIT have discovered cellular mechanisms behind amblyopia and visual memory.

Researchers studying zebrafish have found that genes linked to autism spectrum disorder and other developmental brain abnormalities may be playing a role in people who cannot control their eye movements.

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Tübingen in Germany have developed a novel computational approach to finding stimuli that neurons in the brain ‘like.’

Researchers at the Salk Institute and UC San Diego discover a way to make electron microscopy more detailed and precise by visualizing the activation of brain circuits over long distances.

Using a virtual town, psychologists at Emory University have found that the human brain uses three distinct systems to perceive our environment.

Researchers at the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience uncovered a diverse palette of inhibition within layer 2/3 of the visual cortex, suggestive of a more complex functional connectivity that may allow for enhanced flexibility of...

New research by neuroscientists at the University of Chicago shows that the posterior parietal cortex (PPC), an area of the brain often associated with planning movements and spatial awareness, also plays a crucial role in making decisions about images...

For the first time, a team of neuroscientists from Columbia University have controlled a visual behavior of a mouse by activating a few neurons in its visual cortex.
