By activating the visual cortex electrically, those modules generate simple spots or patterns of light that the brain can try ...

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 ...

Brains constantly predict what the eyes will see next, relying on internal feedback networks that physically rewire ...

Perimetry, also known as visual field testing, is an essential diagnostic tool for assessing various ophthalmic conditions, including glaucoma, optic neuropathies, and disorders affecting the retina ...

Rhythmic electrical activity in the retina (known as pathological oscillations) has been observed in several eye diseases, including congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) and retinitis ...

Anesthetizing the retina of a “lazy” eye for just two days can restore vision in mice. In the vision disorder amblyopia (or “lazy eye”), impaired vision in one eye early in life causes neural ...

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 ...
