Findings could help to develop new treatments to restore site when connections between the eyes and brain are damaged, researchers say.
Researchers have developed a 3D printed prototype for a bionic eye. The team successfully printed an array of light receptors onto a hemispherical surface. This advance could revolutionize restoring vision to those who have lost their sight.
A new study describes the activity of retinal neurons as they deliver visual information to the thalamus, an area of the brain implicated in image processing.
Researchers say a new retinal imaging test could be a reliable tool for measuring the progression of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's. The study reports the tool can detect drusen, which is often higher in those with AD.
The retina can sense infrared light under certain conditions, a new study reports.
