Gene therapy with voretigene neparvovec-rzyl partially restores geniculostriate pathway function in LCA2 patients, improving visual processing. Initial LCA2 pathology shifts visual processing from the ...

When visual information enters the brain, it travels through two pathways that process different aspects of the input. For decades, scientists have hypothesized that one of these pathways, the ventral ...

Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that's involved in ...

Researchers discover a new visual pathway that bypasses the primary visual cortex in mice, a structure previously considered essential to all visual processing. The newly discovered pathway (red).

Extensive research in human cognitive neuroscience has enabled detailed documentation of the functional organization of the cortex. This organization represents regions that are specifically engaged ...

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet: The colors of the rainbow are well known to anyone who remembers “Roy G. Biv.” However, scientific research has long shown that such colors are not ...

A new explanation for some of the symptoms of fragile X syndrome, the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability, has been proposed by researchers. Their explanation suggests new targets ...

A new study questions the longstanding view that the visual system is divided into two pathways, one for object-recognition and the other for spatial tasks. Using computational vision models, ...
