A team of University of California, Berkeley, scientists in collaboration with researchers at the University of Munich and University of Washington, in Seattle, has discovered a chemical that temporarily restores some vision to blind mice, and is working on an improved compound that may someday allow people with degenerative blindness to see again.
Researchers decipher the retina's neural code for brain communication to create novel, more effective prosthetic retinal device for blindness.
New research reveals the key chemical process that corrects for potential visual errors in low-light conditions. Understanding this fundamental step could lead to new treatments for visual deficits, or might one day boost normal night vision to new levels.
Using computer models, researchers discover melanopsin pigment in the eye is more sensitive to light than rhodopsin pigment.
Projecting images onto the floor of a maze, rodents can learn behaviors faster.
Researchers have created a 3D human retinal tissue from stem cells.
Due to differences in visual systems, not all animals see the world in the same way.
