Visual neurobiology

Visual neurobiology is the study of how our brains process and interpret visual information. When we see something, light enters our eyes and is converted into electrical signals by specialized cells. These signals travel through the optic nerve to the brain, where different areas work together to recognize shapes, colors, and motion. This complex system allows us to understand our surroundings, navigate our environment, and interact with the world. By exploring visual neurobiology, scientists aim to understand how vision affects behavior, perception, and even the way we think.
