NPR : Clues to Depression Sought in Brain's Wiring - Major depression afflicts one out of 10 adults, resulting in profound and disturbing changes in all aspects of a person's life. NPR's Michele Trudeau reports that new brain imaging technologies and genetic detective work are rapidly revealing what can cause depression and how best to treat it. [8:46 streaming audio broadcast]

BrainMaps - BrainMaps is an NIH-funded interactive zoomable high-resolution digital brain atlas and virtual microscope that is based on more than 20 million megapixels (50 terabytes) of scanned images of serial sections of both primate and non-primate brains and that is integrated with a high-speed database for querying and retrieving data about brain structure and function over the internet. Currently featured are complete brain atlas datasets for Macaca mulatta, Chlorocebus aethiops, Felis silvestris catus, ...
Binocular disparity - Binocular disparity refers to the difference in images of an object seen by left and right eye resulting from the eyes' horizontal separation. The brain uses binocular disparity to extract depth information from the two-dimensional retinal images in stereopsis.
Homunculus argument - The homunculus argument arises most commonly in the theory of vision. One may explain (human) vision by arguing that the light from the outside world forms an image on the retinas in the eyes and something in the brain looks at these images as if they are images on a movie screen (this theory of vision is sometimes termed the theory of the Cartesian Theater: it is most associated, nowadays, with the psychologist David Marr).
Cyclopean image - Cyclopean image is a single image created by the brain by combining two images received from the two eyes. Cyclopean image is named after the mythical Cyclops with a single eye.
Optical illusion - An optical illusion is always characterized by visually perceived images that, at least in common sense terms, are deceptive or misleading. Therefore, the information gathered by the eye is processed by the brain to give, on the face of it, a percept that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source.
