Binocular neurons

Binocular neurons are neurons in the visual system that assist in the creation of stereopsis from binocular disparity. They have been found in the primary visual cortex where the initial stage of binocular convergence begins.[1][2] Binocular neurons receive inputs from both the right and left eyes and integrate the signals together to create a perception of depth.
