For more than a century, neuroscience textbooks have treated damaged neurons in the adult central nervous system as a dead end, especially in the delicate circuitry that carries visual information ...

For generations, adults with amblyopia were told their vision loss was permanent, a childhood problem that medicine could not ...

After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- When visual information enters the brain, it travels through two pathways that process different aspects of the input. For decades, scientists have hypothesized that one of these ...

UC Santa Barbara neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of neural connections between the insect’s eyes and the navigation center of its ...

In the split second that is needed to view a stop sign and react to it, our brain navigates a complex process that transitions seamlessly from perception to action control. This ability to halt or ...
