The results are consistent with the notion that a primitive retina (similar to that of hagfish) contained ciliary photoreceptors connected directly to projection neurons, and that subsequently ...
When light enters your eyes, it is absorbed by special cells called photoreceptors in your retina. There are two types of photoreceptors: rods, which are sensitive to light and dark, and cones ...
Normally, light reaches the retina at the back of your eye, where it triggers photoreceptors that relay the information to your brain. This is how you are able to see anything. But bombard them ...
Atsena Therapeutics, a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on bringing the life-changing power of genetic medicine to reverse or prevent blindness, today announced the initiation of Part B of ...
Germany, have discovered that nerve cells in the eye often process natural visual stimuli from the environment jointly in cell groups and in a coordinated manner. The coordinated cooperation of nerve ...
This ability is supported by the foveola, a tiny section of the retina that is densely packed with photoreceptors. Researchers at Zhejiang University and the Zhejiang Key Laboratory of Research ...
