visual processing

Mice have neurons that connect to both eyes but only propagate the signal from one or the other, simplifying the information sent to the cerebral cortex.

Flashing lights activate fly navigation neurons.

Carbon dioxide pumped into a bright chamber mimics a breathing host for the pest to target.

People whose pupils change more dramatically during a visual perception task tend to score higher on a self-reported scale of autistic traits.

This helps the insects collect as much visual information as possible from the gently swaying flowers on which they dine.

Deciphering how a jumping spider sees the world and processes visual information may yield insights into long-standing robotics problems.

Cornell researchers probe the brains of jumping spiders to gain insight into the arachnid's visual processing capabilities.

First described in the late 19th century, then lost from the literature for more than 100 years, the vertical occipital fasciculus appears to be important in visual processing.
