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

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

A recent study led by Tiffany Schmidt, Ph.D., associate professor of Ophthalmology and of Neurobiology in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, has discovered previously unknown cellular ...

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 ...

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

Optimism in ophthalmology. The post Scanning Your Baby’s Eyeballs Will Tell You How Their Brain Will Turn Out, Research ...

In humans and other mammals, loss of neurons in the retina due to trauma or disease is an irreversible process that can lead to blindness. But unlike humans, some animals, such as fish, have the ...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) affects motor and non-motor systems; however, retinal changes and their molecular basis are not well understood. Using a transgenic mouse model overexpressing A53T-mutant ...

Radiation damage to the healthy retina, or radiation retinopathy, is the primary morbidity observed after ocular radiotherapy. In patients treated with 125 I-plaque brachytherapy for uveal melanoma, ...
