Neural activity plays an underappreciated role in the development and growth of nervous system cancers, a new study reports.
At the site of injury, nerves release a protein called CXCL12 which attracts growing nerve fibers and keeps them trapped in place. This prevents the nerve fibers from growing in the correct direction to bridge the injury site.
Researchers report persistent psychological stress can contribute to the development and progression of vision loss.
Researchers report visual features modulated by the optokinetic reflex are encoded in the retina.
Recovering from suddenly losing her vision, Vanessa Potter experienced a mingling of her senses and altered the way in which she saw colors.
Findings could pave the way for developing new treatments to restore vision and repair retinal damage.
Researchers report on a link between core body temperature and circadian rhythm in mice.
A new study reports high contrast visual stimulation can help damaged retinal neurons to regrow optic nerve fibers.
A new study sheds light on how we perceive and recognize specific visual stimuli.
Researchers have discovered a mechanism of color vision that could answer long standing questions, such as why a dimly lit night sky has a bluish cast.
A common over the counter antihistamine could partially reverse damage to the visual system caused by multiple sclerosis, researchers report.
Researchers believe they have devised an optimal model for speed and visual processing.
