The trial-to-trial variability of neuronal responses and the correlated response variability among neurons are modulated by visual stimulus size in a manner that depends on cortical layer, suggesting ...

The study provides new insights into the functions of ancestral cortices but also raises fundamental questions about how and when key neural computations evolved in turtles. Scientists studying the ...

A new study suggests that babies are able to distinguish between the different objects they see around them at 2 months old, ...

Prolonged near work in low luminance may accelerate myopia primarily by limiting retinal illumination through sustained accommodative miosis rather than by electronic screens per se.

Turtles found able to grasp that same object seen from different angles is not a different object, an important trait for ...

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

New research shows how psychedelics alter visual processing and boost memory-linked brain circuits to generate hallucinations, revealing mechanisms with therapeutic implications.

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 ...

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, ...
