For generations, adults with amblyopia were told their vision loss was permanent, a childhood problem that medicine could not ...

Experiments involving real and simulated robots suggest that the relationship between physical movement and sensory input could be crucial to developing more intelligent machines. Tests involving two ...

Responses of V1 neurons to stimuli presented within the classical receptive field are modulated by surround stimuli beyond the classical receptive field 1,2,3,4,5. Surround modulation suggests that V1 ...

A Harvard University neurobiology lab is under fire for conducting brain and vision experiments on baby monkeys, the latest in a string of efforts by animal welfare groups to shut down tests they view ...

When Cris Niell said that he wanted to study how mice see, it did not go over well with more-senior neuroscientists. Mice are nocturnal and navigate largely using their noses and whiskers, so many ...

After last week’s blind kittens in carousels, I thought I was done with creepy kitten vision experiments. It turns out, there’s a whole genre of them, and most of ...

While humans have three color cones in the retina sensitive to red, green and blue light, birds have a fourth color cone that can detect ultraviolet light. A research team trained wild hummingbirds to ...
