Researchers discover a new visual pathway that bypasses the primary visual cortex in mice, a structure previously considered essential to all visual processing. The newly discovered pathway (red).

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, ...

Researchers have identified a pathway in the brains of mice that is activated when the animals see other mice scratching and that, surprisingly, does not involve the brain's visual cortex. Researchers ...

A new study from MIT provides an account for how these two pathways may be shaped by developmental factors. Newborns typically have poor visual acuity and poor color vision because their retinal cone ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- 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 ...
