Blue light regenerates functional visual pigments in mammals through a retinyl-phospholipid intermediate. [PDF]
, 2017 The light absorbing chromophore in opsin visual pigments is the protonated Schiff base of 11-cis-retinaldehyde (11cRAL). Absorption of a photon isomerizes 11cRAL to all-trans-retinaldehyde (atRAL), briefly activating the pigment before it dissociates ...

Spatio-temporal Contrast Sensitivity in the Cardinal Directions of the Colour Space. A Review
Journal of Optometry, 2010 We review the psychophysics of the spatio-temporal contrast sensitivity in the cardinal directions of the colour space and their correlation with those neural characteristics of the visual system that limit the ability to perform contrast detection or ...

Reactome enhanced pathway visualization [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2017 Abstract Motivation Reactome is a free, open-source, open-data, curated and peer-reviewed knowledge base of biomolecular pathways. Pathways are arranged in a hierarchical structure that largely corresponds to the GO biological process hierarchy, allowing the user to navigate from high level concepts ...

Psychophysical evidence for two routes to suppression before binocular summation of signals in human vision [PDF]
, 2007 Visual mechanisms in primary visual cortex are suppressed by the superposition of gratings perpendicular to their preferred orientations. A clear picture of this process is needed to (i) inform functional architecture of image-processing models, (ii ...

Autism Pathogenesis: The Superior Colliculus
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 After been exposed to the visual input, in the first year of life, the brain experiences subtle but massive changes apparently crucial for communicative/emotional and social human development. Its lack could be the explanation of the very high prevalence

Visual pathways from the perspective of cost functions and multi-task deep neural networks [PDF]
, 2017 Vision research has been shaped by the seminal insight that we can understand the higher-tier visual cortex from the perspective of multiple functional pathways with different goals. In this paper, we try to give a computational account of the functional

Reciprocal anatomical relationship between primary sensory and prefrontal cortices in the human brain [PDF]
, 2011 The human brain exhibits remarkable interindividual variability in cortical architecture. Despite extensive evidence for the behavioral consequences of such anatomical variability in individual cortical regions, it is unclear whether and how different ...

Morphometric analyses of the visual pathways in macular degeneration
, 2014 Introduction. Macular degeneration (MD) causes central visual field loss. When field defects occur in both eyes and overlap, parts of the visual pathways are no longer stimulated.
