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 pathways, the ventral ...

Wearables and robots are getting smarter at recognizing objects, following commands, and navigating spaces—but they still ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...

Scientists discover a new pathway to long-term memory formation in the brain that can bypass the formation of short-term memory. Researchers from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have ...

LOS ANGELES (June 25, 2020) -- New research from Cedars-Sinai has identified the pathways of neurons that help people retrieve information from memories and use that information to make decisions--a ...

Ferroelectric quantum dots enable phototransistors that adapt to low light and store visual memory, supporting motion recognition and in-sensor learning in neuromorphic systems. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

Researchers identify the Munc13-1 protein as a crucial molecular pathway for working memory, linking calcium signaling to ...

Gene therapy with voretigene neparvovec-rzyl partially restores geniculostriate pathway function in LCA2 patients, improving visual processing. Initial LCA2 pathology shifts visual processing from the ...

Working memory is a cognitive function that is essential for carrying out everyday activities and temporarily retaining information.

A new study questions the longstanding view that the visual system is divided into two pathways, one for object-recognition and the other for spatial tasks. Using computational vision models, ...
