“But we found that the visual motion produced by our eye movements is not just a nuisance variable to be subtracted off; rather, our brains analyze these global patterns of image motion and use this to infer how our eyes have moved relative to the world.” buff.ly/dlPQAc7

“We can try to slow disease progression, but once neuronal cells are lost, there is nothing we can do beyond helping people to adjust to visual impairment. Research has expanded our understanding of how we see, but there is still much to learn...”

For years scientists thought the brain learned by simplifying information, but new #URochesterResearch at @urneuroscience.bsky.social#URochesterResearchsuggests learning may depend on something more sophisticated: neurons constantly combining what the brain sees with what it expects https://uofr.us/47BnDaC
