          How Flickering Light Induces Hallucinations

          A new study reveals how flickering lights can trigger hallucinations by causing standing waves in the brain's visual cortex. Researchers observed that high-frequency flickering lights create ripple-like waves of neural activity, which turn into standing waves at higher frequencies.

          Gene Therapy Offers Hope for Glaucoma and AMD

          A newly developed gene therapy shows great potential for treating glaucoma, a condition that can lead to vision loss. The therapy protects retinal ganglion cells, essential for vision, and improves their function in animal models of glaucoma. It also enhances energy production in human retinal cells, which could prevent further damage. This therapy offers a new and promising approach to treating a condition that affects millions worldwide.

          Gene Therapy Restores Vision

          A new gene therapy has restored vision in patients with Leber congenital amaurosis type I (LCA1), a rare genetic condition causing blindness. In a small trial, those receiving the highest dose saw up to a 10,000-fold improvement in light sensitivity and significant gains in reading and navigation abilities.

          Brain Circuit Unveils Secrets of Visual Object Memory

          Researchers have identified how the brain stores and recalls visual object memory, crucial for tasks like navigation and problem-solving. By studying macaques, they discovered that the anterior ventral temporal cortex (aVTC) and the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) work together in this process, with OFC regulating memory-related activities in aVTC neurons. The findings could pave the way for new treatments for memory deficits in dementia.

          How the Brain Learns and Integrates Prior Knowledge with New Information

          The brain builds a hierarchy of knowledge, connecting lower-order sensory details to higher-order concepts, shaping our perception of the world. A new study reveals how visual experience influences the brain’s feedback connections, allowing us to integrate context and recognize patterns based on past experiences. Researchers found that visual input refines these connections, enhancing our ability to interpret complex stimuli and update our understanding of the environment.

          Researchers used Game of Thrones to study how the brain recognizes faces, providing insights into prosopagnosia, a condition affecting facial recognition in 1 in 50 people. MRI scans showed increased brain activity in regions associated with character knowledge in fans of the series, but reduced activity in those unfamiliar with the show and in prosopagnosia patients.

          Childhood Vision Loss Affects Sound Distance Judgement

          New research reveals that individuals who experience vision loss before age 10 struggle more with judging sound distance compared to those who lose sight later in life. This difficulty in perceiving the location of sounds has significant implications for safety and navigation. The study highlights the need for tailored healthcare solutions for those with early vision loss to enhance their quality of life.

          Antioxidants Slow Vision Loss in Late-Stage Dry AMD

          Researchers found that daily antioxidant supplements slow the progression of late-stage dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The supplements help preserve central vision by slowing the expansion of geographic atrophy regions in the retina. This finding supports the use of AREDS2 supplements for people with late dry AMD.

          Detecting Early Vision Loss in Macular Degeneration

          A new study reveals that early changes in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can lead to measurable local vision loss. Researchers used advanced imaging to find that iRORA lesions, early signs of retinal damage, significantly reduce visual acuity. This discovery could enhance monitoring and treatment of AMD, potentially preventing severe vision loss. The findings offer hope for earlier intervention in this progressive eye disease.

          Handedness and Vision May Reveal Hidden Social Strengths

          A new study shows that human biases in handedness and visual field processing have social and cognitive implications. Researchers found that people with a reversed bias (left hand, right visual) are more likely to have social difficulties and conditions like autism or ADHD. The study reveals that aligning biases may have social benefits, much like in animals. These findings could lead to early screening and interventions for neurodevelopmental disorders.

          Ozempic Linked to Increased Risk of Blinding Eye Condition

          A new study reveals that patients prescribed semaglutide (Ozempic or Wegovy) for diabetes or weight loss have a higher risk of developing NAION, a potentially blinding eye condition. Diabetic patients on semaglutide were over four times more likely to be diagnosed with NAION, while overweight patients were over seven times more likely. The findings suggest the need for careful discussions between patients and doctors about this risk. NAION remains a rare but serious condition with no effective treatments.
