Washington [US], October 7 (ANI): A discovery about how some visually impaired adults could start to see offers a new vision of the brain's possibilities. The adult brain has the potential to partially recover from inherited blindness, according to new research.
Washington [US], September 13 (ANI): Neuroscientists have revealed the precise connections between sensory neurons inside the retina and the superior colliculus, a structure in the midbrain. Neuropixels probes are a relatively recent development, representing the next generation of electrodes. Densely packed with recording points, Neuropixels probes are used to record the activity of nerve cells, and have facilitated these recent insights into neuronal circuits. The researchers describe a fundamental principle which is common to the visual systems of mammals and birds.
Bonn [Germany], August 29 (ANI): Uveitis, a rare inflammatory eye illness, is responsible for five to ten percent of blindness worldwide. In particular, posterior uveitis is frequently associated with significant disease progression and the requirement for immunosuppressive medication. In posterior uveitis, inflammation develops in the retina as well as the underlying choroid, which gives nutrients to the retina. Color-coded fundus autofluorescence was investigated as a potential innovative diagnostic tool by researchers at the University of Bonn's Department of Ophthalmology. The fluorescence of the retina can be used to determine the type of uveitis. This is a necessary requirement for appropriate disease diagnosis and therapy.
Bethesda (Maryland) [US], May 7 (ANI): Researchers have identified discrete differences between the cells that make up retinal tissue and the findings can help in developing targeted therapies to treat various diseases that affect the eye's retina.
Apple has officially launched the iPhone SE 5G today at the Peek Performance event. The device has been introduced as the successor to the iPhone SE 2020. Apple iPhone SE 5G will be available for pre-order on March 11, 2022, and its first sale will commence on March 18. It comes in three exciting colours […]
Connecticut [US], March 8 (ANI): The retina is a layer of photoreceptors cells and glial cells within the eye that captures incoming photons and transmits them along neuronal pathways as both electrical and chemical signals for the brain to perceive a visual picture. Chronically stressing the retina can weaken it and damage our ability to see. But retinal cells have a remarkable ability to wall off damage. This was discovered by a team of neuroscientists led by UConn Health.
Montreal [Canada], February 12 (ANI): Reduced blood flow and impaired neurovascular coupling are well-known features of glaucoma. The mechanisms underlying these abnormalities have now been unveiled during recent research by a team led by Adriana Di Polo, professor of neuroscience and ophthalmology at Universite de Montreal.
Researchers in Australia devised an Artificial Intelligence (AI) program that helps in predicting a person’s years of life by looking into their eye. Here’s all you need to know. Eyes: The windows of the soul and health Have you ever whiled away time predicting when someone will die? Well, to know the answer, all you […]

Washington [US], January 19 (ANI): A new research has found that the difference between the biological age of the retina, the light-sensitive layers of nerve tissue at the back of the eye, and a person's real (chronological) age, is linked to their risk of death.
