New research following children for more than a decade links high screen exposure before age two to accelerated brain maturation, slower decision-making, and increased anxiety by adolescence.

The ‘mental number line’ theory doesn’t appear to hold up vertically. In A Nutshell When people viewed vertical lines filled ...

When users swipe through profiles on dating applications, their brains make split-second decisions based on limited visual information. A new study suggests that these rapid judgments rely on two ...

Differences in kinetics of retinal output signals originate at least in part from differences in synaptic output from distinct bipolar cell types.

In a highly anticipated article, FDA officials Vinay Prasad, M.D., and Martin Makary, M.D., outlined a novel regulatory pathway that could trigger a seismic shift in how bespoke gene editing therapies ...

A team at the University of Bremen has uncovered how the brain’s ability to focus relies on the precise timing of signals reaching nerve cells. Credit: Shutterstock Signals are processed only if they ...

The aim of this paper is to review anterograde degeneration throughout the anterior visual pathway, particularly in the optic tracts, the lateral geniculate nucleus, the optic radiations and the ...

This important study investigates how hummingbird hawkmoths integrate stimuli from across their visual field to guide flight behaviour. Cue conflict experiments provide solid evidence for an ...

Summary: New research reveals how early-life blurry, low-color vision may help shape the brain’s visual pathways into specialized systems. Using computational models trained on low-quality images ...

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 another that ...
