The local electroretinogram of the monkey retina is recorded by intraretinal microelectrodes. Observations of the late receptor potential, isolated by selective clamping of the retinal circulation, ...
The brain's ability to form new neural connections, called neuroplasticity, is crucial to recovery from some types of brain injury, but this process is hard to study and remains poorly understood. A ...
The detection of approaching objects, such as looming predators, is necessary for survival. Which neurons and nerve circuits mediate this function? A new type of nerve cell, sensitive to approaching ...
Researchers found that vertebrate eyes - including humans’ - began as brain tissue from a single ancestral light-sensing organ.
Retinal prostheses such as the Argus II, Bio-Retina and the Retina Implant AG microchip all work – more or less – by stimulating the retina’s ganglion cells with light-induced electrical signals. The ...
For individuals with inherited eye disorders such as retinitis pigmentosa or macular degeneration, the irreversible degeneration of the retina—a layer of photoreceptors at the back of the eye—can ...
