The laboratory of researcher Eloísa Herrera has discovered that during the development of the brain's visual areas, the two retinas communicate with each other temporarily through nervous projections. This connection is important for synchronizing and aligning the representation of the two images from the eyes in the visual cortex, which ensures they can merge coherently.
