Optic neuropathies including glaucoma, traumatic injury, ischemic damage, and optic neuritis, are the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide; however, effective treatments for optic nerve ...

Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of neuroscience and psychology studies. Most past studies focusing on the visual cortex ...

A new study published in Nature suggests that the neural foundations of spatial navigation—the brain's internal "GPS"—may have emerged far earlier in evolution than previously believed. The research, ...
