In a study published in Neuron, a research team led by Prof. Wang Liping from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology ...

Third, a toggle switch mechanism shifts visual processing between two types of visual feature detectors, LC10a and LC10c neurons. Depending on the social context, this switching enables the fly to ...

Next, the scientists plan to examine the different types of cells that make up the visual circuit in the brain in order to better understand the neurological underpinnings of attention and perception.

Until now, scientists knew little about the effects of TBI on long-term visual circuit function. A team of researchers led by John C. Frankowski from the Department of Anatomy & Neurobiology ...

Neurons have the amazing ability to self-organize into highly refined networks. I am interested in how these networks form. I am especially interested in the molecular pathways underlying this process ...

elicit distinct oscillations in a specific visual circuit that receives the input from those locations,” Lukas Meyerolbersleben explains. As a result, a complex movie elicits a symphony of ...

"This newly discovered circuit explains how we're able to quickly detect and look at faces, even if they first show up in the peripheral visual field where visual acuity is poor. This circuit ...

Google’s Pixel Visual Core, the hidden image-processing chip inside the Pixel 2 family of phones, is getting activated via a software update today. The Visual Core’s main purpose is to bring ...
