Neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of connections between the insect's eyes and the navigation center of its brain. With the help of ...

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 pathways, the ventral ...

For decades, restoring sight after severe eye damage sat firmly in the realm of science fiction. Now a wave of converging advances, from gene editing and stem cells to microchips and laser-based ...
