Scientists from the John A. Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah have achieved another first in the field of connectomics, which studies the synaptic connections between neurons. Moran's Marclab ...

Using a sophisticated neural recording system developed by physicists at UC Santa Cruz, researchers were able to trace for the first time the neural circuitry that connects individual photoreceptors ...

Researchers have traced the light-sensing circuitry for a type of “second sight” that is distinct from the conventional visual system and seems to interact directly with the body’s internal clock. The ...

PORTLAND, Ore. – A new Oregon Health & Science University study is opening scientists' eyes to the retina's ability to rewire itself so it can adapt to different levels of ambient light. The study, ...

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 ...

Scientists have achieved another first in the field of connectomics, which studies the synaptic connections between neurons. The lab has produced the first pathoconnectome, showing how eye disease ...

For more than a century, neuroscience textbooks have treated damaged neurons in the adult central nervous system as a dead end, especially in the delicate circuitry that carries visual information ...

Artificial intelligence is moving from the lab into the clinic, and one of its most provocative promises is that it might spot Alzheimer’s disease by looking into the back of the eye. Instead of ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 117, No. 17 (April 28, 2020), pp. 9577-9583 (7 pages) Amacrine cells are a diverse population of interneurons in ...

Researchers have explained how the regularly structured topographic maps in the visual cortex of the brain could arise spontaneously to efficiently process visual information. This research provides a ...

HHMI researchers trace light-sensing circuitry that interacts with circadian clock. Researchers have traced the light-sensing circuitry for a type of “second sight” that is distinct from the ...
