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 ...

Visual shape processing and perception constitute a central pillar in understanding how the human brain interprets complex visual stimuli. Research in this field has revealed a multifaceted framework ...

Blindsight describes the phenomenon whereby individuals with damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) retain certain visually guided behaviours despite an absence of conscious visual perception. In ...

Our ability to store information about familiar objects depends on the connection between visual and language processing regions in the brain, according to a new study. Our ability to store ...

Learning to read is not easy, but it is made more difficult for a child who cannot see the words and letters on the page correctly. It may not be a problem with their eyes, though. Even children with ...

Neuroscientists want to understand how individual neurons encode information that allows us to distinguish objects, like telling a leaf apart from a rock. But they have struggled to build ...

The human brain can learn through experience to filter out disturbing and distracting stimuli—such as a glaring roadside billboard or a flashing banner on the internet. Scientists at Leipzig ...

Deliberately slowing down your breathing rate alters how accurately you recognize emotions on the faces of people around you, ...

A small team of brain researchers at South China Normal University, working with a colleague from the University of New South Wales, has found that the visual processing parts of the brain light up in ...

Using a blink-and-you'll-miss-it experiment, researchers from Trinity College Dublin have discovered that individuals differ widely in the rate at which they perceive visual signals. Some people ...

Is parallel visual processing a myth? A new study reveals that bipolar cells in the retina use electrical synapses to ...

Whether we’re staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...
