The superior colliculus in the mammalian brain takes on many important tasks by making sense of our environment. Any mistakes during the development of this brain region can lead to severe ...

Researchers have discovered that a brain area preserved through evolution, called the superior colliculus, is more crucial for vision than we thought. Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for ...

Researchers at the National Eye Institute (NEI) report that a brain region in the superior temporal sulcus (fSTS) is crucial for processing and making decisions about visual information. The findings, ...

Researchers at the National Eye Institute (NEI) have defined a crucial window of time that mice need to key in on visual events. As the brain processes visual information, an evolutionarily conserved ...

In the 1860s, physician Hermann von Helmholtz did a simple experiment to understand how the world stays still during eye movements. With a still head, he closed one eye and swiveled the other to look ...

Kyoto, Japan -- What we see in front of us is what our brains tell us it sees. Our eyes capture visual stimuli which are converted into an image, to which the brain responds by organizing neurons into ...

In our lab, we develop and utilize sophisticated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods to study a variety of problems in neuroscience. A primary focus of the lab is to understand the basic physics ...

Cells of common origin in the superior colliculus marked by MADM. This section of a mouse superior colliculus shows the progenies of a single neural stem cell marked in fluorescent green or red. Both ...
