For more than 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same function are grouped into columns. Now, for the first time, researchers at the Max Planck ...

Researchers from the University of Konstanz have studied how insect brains take in complex light stimuli and process them in ...

Saccadic eye movements are rapid, ballistic shifts in gaze that allow the fovea to sample different parts of a visual scene, facilitating high-resolution perception. Research in this area has revealed ...

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have deciphered the molecular processes that first occur in the eye when light hits the retina. The processes—which take only a fraction of a trillionth ...

The visual perception of optical stimuli demands high performance from the brain. Every second, the eyes absorb more than 10 million pieces of information and transmit them to the brain via thousands ...
