Though investigated constantly, the human eye remains one of the most complex constructs in the natural world. Recently, researchers in Germany managed to clear the mystery surrounding the way it works a bit, when they looked at how various neurons communicate with each other. Scientists have known the basic mechanis... |

The achievement of information on the environment through a sensory pathway is called perception. In the case of the human sight, the brain recognizes instantly a familiar object, from any angle and any distance.A book looks like a book, no matter if it is positioned vertically, horizontally or an edge. Still, the si... |

90 % of the information we get about our environment comes through our eyes. Humans are visual beings. But how light turns into visual sensations is hard to explain. A new research published in Neuroscience sheds light on how the human and primate retinas turn light into signals going to the brain. The team funded by... |

We, humans, have in our retina two types of photoreceptor cells: the cones for daylight vision and color vision, and the more sensitive rods for night vision. This is also the case with most mammals. But nocturnal bats were traditionally believed to have just rods. Bats are assigned to two evolutionary groups (which... |

The retina is one of the most fragile tissues of our organisms. So fragile, that the projects of the bionic eyes try to eschew it. But this is the tissue where images are captured and sent as electrical signals to the brain and in fact, the cause of almost all types of blindness. In order to improve the diagnoses of ... |
