What we see is not simply just a neural representation of the pattern of light in the eye, but an interpretation of this image, to which our needs and expectations contribute. These factors are shaped ...

Visual sensation begins at the retina, which is the neural tissue located at the back of eyeballs. It has been known that the retina detects light using photoreceptors which are light-sensitive nerve ...

Stimulation of the nervous system with neurotechnology has opened up new avenues for treating human disorders, such as prosthetic arms and legs that restore the sense of touch in amputees, prosthetic ...

The brain modulates visual signals according to internal states, as a new study by neuroscientists reveals. The brain modulates visual signals according to internal states, as a new study by LMU ...

Neurons Simplify Visual Signals by Responding to Only One Retina Mice have neurons that connect to both eyes but only propagate the signal from one or the other, simplifying the information sent to ...

Loss of the TRPM1 ion channel in retinal ON bipolar cells disrupts communication with AII amacrine cells, causing anti-phase oscillations in retinal ganglion cells and structural remodeling of rod ...
