rather than in the visual system in the back of the brain. The results are significant given the ongoing debate among neuroscientists on what consciousness is and where it happens in the brain.

But an accurate biological description of this system is extremely complicated," said Murakami. "There is a large number of visual cortical areas involved and these are arranged in layers which ...

The team plans on tracing the neural wiring that carries color signals from the eye to the brain, in the hopes that anatomy might help them untangle the mantis shrimp’s strange visual system.

The detailed map of foveolar representations that they derived offers new precious insight into the complex underpinnings of the primate visual system, particularly the processes underpinning ...

A complete inventory of the Drosophila visual system classifies about 53,000 neurons into 732 types. The shapes and connections of all the visual neurons have been quantified, and a large ...

Research conducted at the University of Helsinki reveals that the human visual system sacrifices the ability to detect individual photons in order to gain greater fidelity in detecting faint lights.
