Compared to the near total permanent vision loss associated with cortical blindness in adults, which is often due to strokes, children with CVI usually retain some functional vision that may improve ...

Researchers have identified a new way of mapping ‘phosphenes’ – the visual perception of the bright flashes we see when no light is entering the eye – to improve the outcome of surgery for patients ...

Researchers have settled a 60-year-old debate in neuroscience, proving that the visual cortex constructs complex images from raw thalamic data. Using high-resolution synaptic imaging, the study ...

How does the brain see the "big picture"? A new study reveals that the primary visual cortex (V1) calculates statistical ...

When animals move through complex visual environments, the brain cannot afford to analyze every detail one by one. Instead, ...

Researchers at Monash University have identified a new way of mapping ‘phosphenes’ – the visual perception of the bright flashes we see when no light is entering the eye – to improve the outcome of ...
