Visual neuroscience is the study of the visual system including the visual cortex. Its goals are to understand the neurophysiology of the visual system, and to understand how neural activity results in visual perception and behaviors that depend on vision. Visual neuroscience is a branch of neuroscience, and is closely related to psychophysics.
the range of behaviors that neural activity results in are long-term memory and short-term memory.
