Functional representation of vision within the mind: A visual consciousness model based in 3D default space [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The human eyes and brain, which have finite boundaries, create a ‘‘virtual’’ space within our central nervous system that interprets and perceives a space that appears boundless and infinite.

4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase in malaria parasites and enhances atovaquone efficacy

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Atovaquone is an antimalarial requiring potentiation for sufficient efficacy. We pursued strategies to enhance its activity, showing that 4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase, decreasing ubiquinone biosynthesis. Since atovaquone competes with ubiquinol in mitochondria, 4‐nitrobenzoate facilitates its action, potentiating ...

Reconciling the Neurophysiological and Cognitive Theories of Stimulus–Response Spatial Compatibility Effects: A Visual–Motor Dissociation Approach

open access: yesVision
This study investigated the differential impact of two visual dimensions (direction and spatial location) in two spatial Stroop tasks, where the relevant dimension for the response varied.

I'll take the low road: The evolutionary underpinnings of visually triggered fear.

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2015
Although there is general agreement that the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) is critical for triggering the neuroendocrine response to visual threats, there is uncertainty about the role of subcortical visual pathways in this process.

Photosynthesis under far‐red light—evolutionary adaptations and bioengineering of light‐harvesting complexes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phototrophs evolved light‐harvesting systems adapted for efficient photon capture in habitats enriched in far‐red radiation. A subset of eukaryotic pigment‐binding proteins can absorb far‐red photons via low‐energy chlorophyll states known as red forms.

Devil in the Details – Visual Perception of the Landscape Features by Potential Residential Buyers

open access: yesReal Estate Management and Valuation
It has long been established that people attach value to window views. However, the challenge in real estate market analyses is to capture what landscape features an attractive view contains and thus how they affect the worth (individual valuation) of ...

Neural Coding of Green Flash in Retinal Bipolar Pathways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
What visual information do the graded potentials among retinal bipolar pathways actually transmit from photoreceptors to ganglion cells? The answer does not exist. Even the graded electric signals have not been understood completely.

Plasticity of the human visual system after retinal gene therapy in patients with Leber's congenital amaurosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Much of our knowledge of the mechanisms underlying plasticity in the visual cortex in response to visual impairment, vision restoration, and environmental interactions comes from animal studies.

Fusion and Fission in the Visual Pathways

open access: yesPhysiological Research, 2014
Inconsistent information from different modalities can be delusive for perception. This phenomenon can be observed with simultaneously presented inconsistent numbers of brief flashes and short tones. The conflict of bimodal information is reflected in double flash or fission, and flash fusion illusions, respectively.
