Researchers develop injectable nanoparticles that restore light responsiveness in blind retinas and activate the visual cortex.

An international research team has developed microscopic particles that can make blind retinas respond to light. The ...

Researchers have discovered that the retina uses an unexpected communication network that lets separate visual pathways cooperate instead of working alone. A newly identified "commander" cell appears ...

A team led by researcher Guillermina López-Bendito at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH ...

Vision is one of the most complex functions of our brain and requires a seamless interaction between many different brain structures to decode shapes, colours, depths, and movements and turn them into ...

Gene therapy with voretigene neparvovec-rzyl partially restores geniculostriate pathway function in LCA2 patients, improving visual processing. Initial LCA2 pathology shifts visual processing from the ...

Until now, it has been difficult to maintain retinal ganglion cells deep inside organoids over extended periods. The supply of nutrients and oxygen in the densely packed tissues is limited, leading to ...

Photoreceptors are specialized neurons that convert light into electrical signals that are processed in the visual cortex to form images. The RPE is a cell layer that is adjacent to the photoreceptors ...
