We readily perceive stereoscopic depth in correlated random dot stereograms (RDS), in which every dot presented to one eye has a matching dot in the other eye. In contrast, anti-correlated RDS, in whi...

Sensory cortex is highly organized, but the function of this organization is contentious. We show that closing one eye during the developmental critical period in juvenile mice (monocular deprivation)...

The authors report surprising covariations between subthreshold activity of single V1 neurons and behavior, demonstrating that interactions between external sensory inputs and internal states are impl...

While the photoreceptor outer segments in the bird outer retina have access to oxygen, the inner retina operates under chronic anoxia, supported by anaerobic glycolysis in the retinal neurons.

Successful navigation and interactions with objects in a complex, three-dimensional (3D) world are essential to survival, yet studies of the neural basis of visual perception and action often treat th...

O’Shea et al. investigates how the transition between cone- and rod-mediated vision affects neural representations in central visual areas of the mouse. Whereas the thalamus inherits luminance-depende...

Animals use a combination of eye movements to track moving objects. These different eye movements need to be coordinated for successful tracking, requiring interactions between the systems involved. H...
