A broad range of evidence regarding the functional organization of the vertebrate brain–
spanning from comparative neurology to experimental psychology and neurophysiology to …

Key points Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) are a rare population
of retinal output neurons that drives subconscious physiological responses to light, eg …

Sensory signals reach the cerebral cortex after having made synapses in different relay
stations along the sensory pathway. The flow of sensory information in subcortical relay …

The superior colliculus (SC) in the mammalian mesencephalon is involved in avoidance or
escape behaviors, but little is known about the response properties of collicular neurons to …

Disregard of primary-process consciousness is endemic in mind science. Most
neuroscientists subscribe to ruthless reductionism whereby mental qualities are discarded in …

Stereoscopic video quality assessment has become a major research topic in recent years.
Existing stereoscopic video quality metrics are predominantly based on stereoscopic image …

The uppermost layer (stratum griseum superficiale, SGS) of the superior colliculus (SC)
provides an important gateway from the retina to the visual extrastriate and visuomotor …

A large body of work demonstrates that lesions at multiple levels of the visual system induce
neglect of stimuli in the contralesional visual field and that the neglect dissipates as neural …

We review the work of others in which the effects of circumscribed, topographically
corresponding binocular retinal lesions on the topographic organization of the visual cortex …

Merker makes a strong case for the upper brain stem as being the neural home of primary or
phenomenal consciousness. Though less emphasized, he makes an equally strong and …
