Gene therapy can restore the structure of the retina and regain normal light responses.
A mutation of the Memo1 gene results in the disruption of radial glial cell scaffold, causing misplaced and disorganized layers. The mutation may be responsible for brain development abnormalities associated with autism.
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.
Findings could pave the way for developing new treatments to restore vision and repair retinal damage.
A new study suggests blocking estrogen may help preserve eyesight in girls with NF1.
Researchers report activating cannabinoid signalling can increase activity in retinal ganglion cells.
Researchers reveal the complex neural network that connects the retina and thalamus may represent the first stage in processing visual information learned by experience.
Researchers report they have uncovered a gene responsible for brain development and also discovered how it may work.
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 new study reveals how motion sensing neurons are linked to other cells in the eye.
