The death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) is a key factor in the pathophysiology of all types
of glaucoma, but the mechanism of pathogenesis of glaucoma remains unclear. RGCs are a …

Our conscious experience of the world seems to go in lockstep with our attentional focus: We
tend to see, hear, taste, and feel what we attend to, and vice versa. This tight coupling …

Segregation of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons by type and eye of origin is considered a
hallmark of dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) structure. However, recent anatomical …

Stereopsis provides us with a vivid impression of the depth and distance of objects in our 3-
dimensional world. Stereopsis is important for a number of everyday visual tasks, including …

In humans and other primates, sensory signals from each eye remain separated until they
arrive in the primary visual cortex (V1), but their exact meeting point is unknown. In V1, some …

Study of the neural deficits caused by mismatched binocular vision in early childhood has
predominantly focused on circuits in the primary visual cortex (V1). Recent evidence has …

While there is evidence that the visual cortex retains a potential for plasticity in adulthood,
less is known about the subcortical stages of visual processing. Here, we asked whether …

The brain creates a single visual percept of the world with inputs from two eyes. This means
that downstream structures must integrate information from the two eyes coherently. Not only …

In primates including humans, most retinal ganglion cells send signals to the lateral
geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the thalamus. The anatomical and functional properties of the …

Nearly all of the information that reaches the primary visual cortex (V1) of the brain passes
from the retina through the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the thalamus. Although the …
