Researchers use compressed AI models to discover "dot-detecting" neurons in the macaque visual cortex, offering a new path for Alzheimer’s therapy.

Neuroscientists studying the eye’s blind spot have found that brain cells in the primary visual cortex, or V1, fire even when ...

Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of neuroscience and psychology studies. Most past studies focusing on the visual cortex ...

Understanding how the brain processes what we see is one of the central questions in neuroscience. Our visual system is incredibly powerful, able to ...

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, ...

Scientists have discovered that turtles possess advanced visual processing abilities once thought to be unique to mammals.
