Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. This piece is part of a series dedicated to the eye and improvements in restoring vision. This story also starts a series ...

Prior investigations of rabbit and mouse retina have reported robust directionally selective retinal circuits impinging on directionally-selective ganglion cells (DSGC), while investigations of NHP ...

How optical illusions work has been long-debated among scientists and philosophers, who wonder whether these illusions stem from neural processing in the eye or involve higher-level cognitive ...

Neuroscientists have revealed the precise connections between sensory neurons inside the retina and the superior colliculus, a structure in the midbrain. Neuropixels probes are a relatively recent ...

New computer modeling could help scientists better understand how the retina regenerates, opening the door to new treatments for vision loss, according to a study from the University of Surrey.

The mystery of how human eyes compute the direction of moving light has been made clearer by scientists at The University of Queensland. Using advanced electrical recording techniques, researchers ...

The key components of electrical connections between light receptors in the eye and the impact of these connections on the early steps of visual signal processing have been identified for the first ...

A study carried out by the University of Barcelona and the University of Rochester reveals data on how the visual system can process detailed information about the environment in complex and dynamic ...

The speed at which blindness occurs after retinal detachment varies based on a number of factors. Retinal detachment is a medical emergency that requires prompt treatment to avoid blindness and other ...

For the first time, neuroscientists from Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence (currently in the process of being established) have revealed the ...
