McGill University researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes ...

Researchers analyzed the genetic connection of retinal cells and several neuropsychiatric disorders. By combining different datasets, they found that schizophrenia risk genes were associated with ...

The environment experienced by young zebrafish influences both the shape and electrical activity of the neurons in the eye, ...

Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see – but it’s been a mystery how the intricate structure is created. Now, researchers at ...

What if, in the not-too-distant future, people with partial or total blindness due to degenerative retinal diseases could regain their sight with unexpected quality? That is the mission undertaken ...

Many conditions that cause vision loss share a common feature: the gradual breakdown of the retina, the light-sensing tissue ...

Orientation or axial selectivity, the property of neurons in the visual system to respond preferentially to certain angles of visual stimuli, plays a pivotal role in our understanding of visual ...

Many conditions that cause vision loss share a common feature: the gradual breakdown of the retina, the light-sensing tissue ...

Brain development is orchestrated by both innate and experience-dependent mechanisms, but their relative contributions are difficult to disentangle. Here we asked if and how central visual areas are ...

Revolutionary devices, age rewinding, and cell regeneration: scientists are finding multiple promising approaches for curing ...
