UC Santa Barbara neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of neural connections between the insect’s eyes and the navigation center of its ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- 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 ...

Researchers at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders (NERF), led by Prof. Vincent Bonin, have published two new studies uncovering how visual information is processed and distributed in the brain. The ...

Differences in kinetics of retinal output signals originate at least in part from differences in synaptic output from distinct bipolar cell types.

New findings suggest neurons have much more functional dexterity than scientists previously realized. Our brains begin to create internal representations of the world around us from the first moment ...
