The Formation of Reliable Representations in Visual Cortex Development Academic Background The development of the visual cortex is a significant area of research in neuroscience. In early development, the network structure of the visual cortex has already formed, but how these networks respond to the onset of visual experience and ultimately form m...

In a study titled “Visual Experience Reduces the Spatial Redundancy between Cortical Feedback Inputs and Primary Visual Cortex Neurons,” Rodrigo F. Dias, Radhika Rajan, and their team explored how visual experience influences the spatial redundancy of cortical feedback pathways. This research was carried out by scientists from the Champalimaud Neur...
