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.

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

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 ...

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.

These spatial organizing tools engage the brain’s visual categorization systems in ways that complement verbal processing, creating multimodal neural representations of conceptual relationships.

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 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.

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.

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.
