Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have developed a groundbreaking neuronal circuit model using zebrafish larvae that sheds light on how the brain processes short-term memory to guide eye movements ...
The fovea's cone photoreceptors enable high-acuity vision, with individual variations in cone density affecting visual resolution. Eye movements are calibrated to optimize cone sampling, enhancing ...
A new method for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease could involve listening to the patient's eyes via microphones in their ears. It's all down to a type of eye movement called a saccade. One ...
Rapid side-to-side eye movements can help stabilize posture, avoid falls and maintain balance for people with Parkinson's disease, just as they can for healthy people. This seemingly ...

Zebrafish, photographed with confocal microscope. The brain region that controls eye movement is structurally similar in fish and mammals, but the zebrafish system contains only 500 neurons, making it ...
New research has found that visual stability fails with certain moving stimuli, such as fire, challenging previous assumptions about eye movement mechanisms. The findings offer insights for cognitive ...
20, 2024 — People with Alzheimer's exhibit a loss of motor control along with cognitive decline, and one of the earliest signs of this decay can be spotted in involuntary eye movements known as ...
