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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

"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 ...
