Assessing a number of elements, whether individuals in a group, twigs in a nest, or fruit on a branch, is an essential skill in many animals. But the neural circuits on which it is based are still ...
Hundreds of times during a baseball game, the home plate umpire must instantaneously categorize a fast-moving pitch as a ball or a strike. Scientists have now pinpointed an area in the brain where ...
A single phototransistor mimics retinal bipolar cell function while detecting visible and infrared light, enabling low-power image processing through programmable ON and OFF photoresponses. (Nanowerk ...
Creatures are not born hardwired to see. Instead, they depend on electrical activity in the retina to refine the complex circuits that process visual information. Two new studies in different species ...
Howard Hughes Medical Institute-led research has uncovered three neural circuit mechanisms that enable female fruit flies to modify their visual processing during aggressive interactions. Neuronal ...
A saccadic eye movement causes a variety of transient perceptual sequelae that might be the results of corollary discharge. Here we describe the neural circuits for saccadic corollary discharge that ...
