Researchers induced non-neural cells that mimic ganglion cells in the eyes of mice, effectively reducing the impact of certain eye diseases. They hope to next replicate their technique in humans in order to help restore vision lost due to eye diseases.
Study reveals how evolution and natural selection have optimized the mammalian retina.
A new model of the retina can predict the outcome of defined perturbation.
Players of the popular online brain mapping game Eyewire have assisted in identifying six new neuron types, researchers report.
Researchers have successfully reconstructed a short movie of randomly moving discs produced by rat retinal neurons, with the help of machine learning technology.
Study revels M1 ganglion cell photoreceptors can tune into different ranges of light intensity.
A new study reveals how specialized cells in the retina sense motion.
Researchers report on the role the thalamus plays in visual processing.
Researchers have developed a new method that efficiently turns human stem cells into retinal ganglion cells.
Researchers have made novel discoveries about how the eye processes light on both cellular and molecular levels.
New genetic treatment helps restore light sensitivity in blind mice, a new study reports.
Researchers use a computer algorithm to trace the shape of neurons and group them based on structural similarity. They were able to sort more than 350 mouse retinal neurons into 15 types, including six previously unidentified types.
