The visual cortex, a ... function, and behavioral link of visual areas beyond the well-studied V1. Her investigation began in V1's closely related neighbor, V2, ...

First off, Micah Murray and colleagues of Switzerland discuss The multisensory function of primary visual cortex in humans in a review paper published in Neuropsychologia. They criticize the ...

Objective: Multiple studies have explored the use of visual cortex non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) to enhance visual function. These studies vary in sample size, outcome measures, and ...

The primary visual cortex, called Brodmann area 17 or V1, receives information from the retina. It then interprets and transmits information related to space, location, motion, and color of ...

To test whether the visual cortex could take on more complex language tasks, the researchers scanned the brains of 22 sighted people and 10 people who were blind from birth or an early age while ...

It could someday be possible to reroute functions from a damaged area to a new spot in the brain. "If we can make the visual cortex do math," Bedny said, ...

How did the visual cortex of our ancestors’ brains defend its territory while sleeping? Neuroscientists explain why we dream.

Researchers at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders (NERF), led by Prof. Vincent Bonin, have published two new studies uncovering how visual information is processed and distributed in the brain.

Otherwise, if the visual system were deprived of input all night long, the visual cortex's function might degrade. We know that the visual cortex, in the brain's occipital lobe, can start to respond ...

It conforms to when the visual cortex needs to start defending its territory, Eagleman argues. Scans of dreaming people show most of the brain activity associated with REM is within the visual cortex.
