Contrast has an impact on the optokinetic reflex, which enables us to clearly perceive the landscape from a moving train. Researchers from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich have now ...

The optokinetic reflex causes eyes to drift horizontally from side-to-side-- for example, as we watch the scenery through a window of a moving train. The vestibulo-ocular reflex adjusts our eye ...

To study the function of these brain regions, the team compared brain activity in healthy mice with mice who lack the optokinetic reflex - either because of a genetic disease that makes the retina ...
