Botond Roska and his group at the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research (FMI) implicate a clearly defined neuron type and its circuit in the retina in the pathophysiology of idiopathic ...

Contrast has an impact on the optokinetic reflex, which enables us to clearly perceive the landscape from a moving train. Researchers have now shown that visual features that modulate this ability are ...

Functional ultrasound imaging can yield high-resolution, brain-wide activity maps with promising applications for ophthalmologic, neurologic and psychiatric diseases "Functional ultrasound imaging ...

"This study elegantly shows how analysis of eye movement sheds more light on brain plasticity- an ability that is at the core of the brain's capacity to adapt and function. More specifically, it shows ...
