Insights in Visual Neuroscience: 2023

We are now at the beginning of the third decade of the 21st Century, and, especially in recent years, the achievements made by scientists have been exceptional, leading to major advancements in the fast-growing field of Visual Neuroscience. Frontiers has organized a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest advancements in science in order to be at the forefront of science in different fields of research. This editorial initiative of particular relevance, led by Professors Ben Thompson, Ione Fine, and Vallabh Das, is focused on new insights, novel developments, current challenges, latest discoveries, recent advances, and future perspectives in the field of Visual Neuroscience.

This Research Topic consists of review papers that highlight future opportunities and challenges in specific sub-fields within visual neuroscience. The goal of this collection is to shed light on the progress made in the past decade in the neuroscience field and use that as a context for current challenges and exciting areas of future progress in the Visual Neuroscience field. This article collection will inspire, inform, and provide direction and guidance to researchers in the field.

Topics being covered:
• Eye movements
• Intrinsically photosensitive ganglion cells
• The thalamus
• fMRI and vision
• Quantum optics and vision
• Neuroplasticity within the visual cortex
• Amblyopia and neuroplasticity
• Strabismus
• Future of sight restoration

Other topics that we would like to cover:
