The brain doesn't need to flip it upside down again, once it gets into the brain, you don't really have absolute coordinates anymore. If something is at the bottom of your visual cortex, that doesn't correspond to it actually being low in the world. The brain only cares about relative coordinates now, once you've put it into neural space.

The eye is so closely linked neurologically to the brain that you might call it the only part of our brain you can see from the outside. It seems to hold vital clues to our brain function.

​People tend to think of forgetting as being a pathology, but forgetting is adaptive as it is not good to remember every single thing that happened to you.
There are people that have these amazing episodic memories, but they tend to lose the ability to extract general principles of this memory. They see the trees, and not the forest, basically. And so it is not a good thing to remember every single detail.

​A new study reveals researchers have identified areas of the brain which are different in those who regularly smoke and drink alcohol. Researchers discovered the medial orbitofrontal cortex, and area of the brain implicated in reward, has higher functional connectivity in drinkers. In those who smoke, the lateral orbiotfrontal cortex, an area of the brain linked to impulsive behavior, has lower functional connectivity. The study suggests nicotine may increase overall brain connectivity, which may lead to increased smoking behaviors.
