🧠👁️ How does your eye prevent seeing a scrambled world? @anbucci.bsky.social and @ffranke.bsky.social reveal the eye's secret "clockwork": bigger axons = faster signals = perfect visual timing! 📖 Full paper nature.com/articles/s41593-025-02011-3 #Vision #AcademicSky #Neuroscience #Retina Image ©IOB

🔬 Thrilled to share that our latest research on how the retina synchronizes visual signals has been featured by Medical Xpress! 🧠👁️ It’s exciting to see our work reaching a broader audience. Huge thanks to Medical Xpress for highlighting it! #neuroskyence #retina #VisualProcessing

Some nerve cells are very long, others are not. There are also differences in the length of nerve cells in the eye. Nevertheless, visual stimuli arrive in the brain simultaneously, regardless of this length. A research team from Basel has now discovered why. bsse.ethz.ch/news-and-eve...

Excited to share our Nature Neuroscience paper! We explored how the human #retina keeps signals in sync despite big differences in axon length. Great collaboration with @iobswiss.bsky.social + @bel-bsse.bsky.social — special thanks to @ffranke.bsky.social #neuroskyence 🧠👁️⏱️ bsky.app/profile/natn...

The human brain synchronizes visual signals by adjusting axonal conduction speed in the retina—revealing a previously unknown mechanism for precise perceptual timing @anbucci.bsky.social @ffranke.bsky.social @iobswiss.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
