A person with peripheral vision loss has difficulty seeing things above, below, or at the side without turning their head. This type of vision loss is also known as tunnel vision. Tunnel vision can ...

Biomedical scientists reports a drug -- an estrogen receptor ligand called indazole chloride (IndCl) -- has the potential to improve vision in patients with multiple sclerosis, or MS. The study was ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- When visual information enters the brain, it travels through two pathways that process different aspects of the input. For decades, scientists have hypothesized that one of these ...

One of the most powerful forms of depth perception capitalizes on the small relative displacements, or binocular disparities, in the images projected onto each eye. The brain employs these disparities ...

Later, with improved vision, cells may tune to finer details and richer color, consistent with the other pathway, known as the parvocellular system. To test their hypothesis, the researchers trained ...
