Study supports the theory that highly specialized neurons in the brain are key to translating diverse visual stimuli into behavior. Read More
Light sensitive cells in the fetal retina communicate as part of an interconnected network, giving the retina more light sensitivity during development that previously believed. Read More
Study challenges the widely accepted belief that all light information is relayed through the suprachiasmatic nucleus, which synchronizes the circadian rhythm. Read More
Gene therapy can restore the structure of the retina and regain normal light responses. Read More
CT1 cells connect around 1400 areas in the fly brain. Each cell area works like a separate neuron, allowing CT1 to access information from the fly's eye and support local motion detection. Read More
Gene therapy that targets retinal ganglion cells with light-sensitive cone opsins helps restore vision in mice. Researchers report a potential human treatment could be available within three years. Read More
Researchers report signals from the retina are subjected to selective processing at the earliest neural way-station in the functional pathway connecting the retina to the visual cortex. Read More
Researchers uncover how specific retinal cells respond to the artificial light generated by cell phone and tablets. The study reveals how retinal ganglion cells process ambient light and reset our circadian clocks, leading to sleep disruptions. Read More
Findings could help to develop new treatments to restore site when connections between the eyes and brain are damaged, researchers say. Read More
A new study sheds insight into how mice see in color. The findings could have implications for treating human visual disorders. Read More
Researchers report visual features modulated by the optokinetic reflex are encoded in the retina. Read More
Findings could pave the way for developing new treatments to restore vision and repair retinal damage. Read More
