A study in mice funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) shows for the first time that high-contrast visual stimulation can help damaged retinal neurons regrow optic nerve fibers, otherwise ...

The neural link between a sensory signal and its behavioral report was investigated in macaques trained to locate an intermittently detectable visual target. Neurons in the frontal eye field, an area ...

Monocular contrast sensitivity and microperimetry are useful indicators of visual function and its impact on activities of daily living in those with AMD. Patients with AMD do not rely on binocular ...

A study in mice shows for the first time that visual stimulation can help damaged retinal neurons regrow optic nerve fibers (retinal ganglion cell axons). In combination with chemically induced neural ...

Despite the nursery rhyme about three blind mice, mouse eyesight is surprisingly sensitive. Studying how mice see has helped researchers discover unprecedented details about how individual brain cells ...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that can affect a person’s life in several ways. For example, ASD can affect the way someone communicates, interacts with others, and ...

During sleep, one type of electrical oscillation in the brain called PGO waves (Ponto-Geniculate-Occipital) are thought to activate the visual cortex and serve as a visual dream generator during REM ...
