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 ...

The visual perception of optical stimuli demands high performance from the brain. Every second, the eyes absorb more than 10 million pieces of information and transmit them to the brain via thousands ...

Vision loss has long been treated as a one-way street, a devastating endpoint rather than a problem the brain might quietly work to solve. A wave of research is now overturning that assumption, ...

A recent study in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience shows a new approach called Perceptual Attention Therapy (PATH) restores attention, memory and reading skills more effectively than standard therapies ...

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 ...

Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) on semaglutide or tirzepatide showed a higher incidence of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy and other optic nerve disorders compared to other ...

New research links two widely used diabetes drugs, semaglutide or tirzepatide, to a rare but potentially vision-threatening eye condition, raising questions about drug-specific risks and the need for ...
