In the high-speed supercomputer that is the human brain, where quick connections are made in response to outside stimuli, neurons (or individual cells) race to transmit information using electrical ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

How your eyes really work behind the scenes. US military carries out strikes in Venezuela Tommy Lee Jones and family release ...

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 ...

Some experts will tell you that the human eye can see between 30 and 60 frames per second. Some maintain that the human eye may be able to see much more than that although more research is needed.

New computer modelling could help scientists better understand how the retina regenerates and assist with treatments for vision loss, according to researchers. The University of Surrey said the model ...

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 ...

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 ...
