Researchers wanted to find out whether this burst-like activity occurred only in LGN neurons that had lost input, or also in neurons receiving signals from the eye that could still see. After some ...
After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers found that surviving eye cells formed extra branches that restored ...
Our eyes constantly send bits of information about the world around us to our brains where the information is assembled into objects we recognize. Along the way, a series of neurons in the eye uses ...
