The majority of synapses in primary visual cortex mediate excitation between nearby neurons, yet the role of local recurrent connections in visual processing remains unclear. We propose that these ...

The findings, published in Cell Reports, demonstrate that the primary visual cortex, also called V1, in monkeys shows two different patterns of brain activity depending on whether their eyes are ...

The striate cortex is the part of the visual cortex that is involved in processing visual information. The striate cortex is the first cortical visual area that receives input from the lateral ...

This is a term which means that there is damage to the brain (but not necessarily the primary visual cortex) affecting how it processes the visual environment. Below is a variety of information on how ...
