A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled.
Researchers have settled a 60-year-old debate in neuroscience, proving that the visual cortex constructs complex images from ...
A study shows the primary visual cortex encodes both mean motion, and variability in complex scenes, revealing early-stage ...
How does the brain see the "big picture"? A new study reveals that the primary visual cortex (V1) calculates statistical ...
The visual cortex exhibits remarkable experience-dependent plasticity, which can be profoundly disrupted by abnormal visual input. Form-deprivation myopia (FDM) is a well-established model for ...
ABSTRACT: Visual working memory (VWM) is the ability to maintain visual information in a readily available and easily updated state. Converging evidence has revealed that VWM capacity is limited by ...
Every illusion has a backstage crew. New research shows the brain’s own “puppet strings”—special neurons that quietly tug our perception—help us see edges and shapes that don’t actually exist. When ...
Homeostatic plasticity maintains normal brain functions by constraining various network features of neural circuits, yet how this is realized on the cellular level remains unknown. Synaptic and ...
