New research shows that a deeply ancient part of the brain can process visual information on its own, without help from the cortex. Scientists found that the superior colliculus, a structure shared by ...
"This study elegantly shows how analysis of eye movement sheds more light on brain plasticity- an ability that is at the core of the brain's capacity to adapt and function. More specifically, it shows ...
Rebooting the Eye To test this theory, the team injected an anesthetic called tetrodotoxin into the lazy eye of lab animals ...
People with aphantasia—individuals who report experiencing no visual imagery at all—also showed reduced activation of the brain's visual cortex in response to sounds, according to a new study. The ...

New Research Details The Role of Working Memory in Processing Visual Information John A. Moran Eye Center Scientist Behrad Noudoost, MD, PhD, is making significant new discoveries about working memory ...
The visual cortex, the part of the brain that receives information from the eyes, has been known to respond to sound or touch in people who are blind. Researchers have now shown it may be unwittingly ...
Neuralink's Blindsight implant has received FDA breakthrough status, aiming to restore sight by stimulating the visual cortex ...
The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...
