Gene therapy partially restores visual processing in the geniculostriate pathway of patients with Leber congenital amaurosis type 2 while maintaining compensatory activity in the retinotectal pathway.

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain’s visual system: one that’s responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and ...

The authors describe how dysfunction of visual processing pathways can result in higher-order visual deficits, including difficulties with complex motion perception, and face and object recognition.

However, these studies focused on cortical structures that are involved in much later stages of the visual processing pathway. As opposed to this, our sensory system is constantly 'bombarded' by ...

Neuroscientists discovered anatomical changes that occur in the white matter of visual-processing areas of the brain, in children who have congenital cataracts surgically removed.

It has long been known that the brain preferentially processes information that we focus our attention on—a classic example ...

The human brain has two distinct pathways for processing visual information: the dorsal and ventral streams. The dorsal stream, often referred to as the “where” pathway, originates in the ...

An electron-microscopy image of the fruit fly's anterior visual pathway — all neurons involved in processing visual information and conveying it to the navigation center in the fly brain.

“My brain started to reawaken,” Dr. Elliott wrote, after undergoing a visual processing assessment at the Mind-Eye Institute and being prescribed brain glasses.
