Scientists in Montreal have identified a key mechanism involved in the growth of nerve cells that are critical to mediate binocular vision, which allows people to see the world in three dimensions.

Scientists have long known that the brain's visual system isn't fully hardwired from the start—it becomes refined by what babies see—but the authors of a new MIT study still weren't prepared for the ...

Binocular vision disorders encompass a range of conditions that impair the coordinated function of the eyes, detrimentally affecting the ability to focus, process depth and maintain visual comfort.

A figure from the research shows the same section of neural dendrite at days 1, 5 and 10 of imaging. Arrows indicate spines that will be lost by the next imaging day, or that were added by that day.
