Using simulations, robots, and live fish, scientists have replicated the neural circuitry that allows zebrafish to react to visual stimuli and maintain their position in flowing water. (Nanowerk News) ...

Neuroscientists want to understand how individual neurons encode information that allows us to distinguish objects, like telling a leaf apart from a rock. But they have struggled to build ...

Using simulations, robots, and live fish, scientists at EPFL and Duke University have replicated the neural circuitry that allows zebrafish to react to visual stimuli and maintain their position in ...

Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and colleagues decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze. The ...

Whether we’re staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...

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 ...
