New research shines light on highly sensitive human visual system

The performance of human observers agrees with the new dim light detection model where performance is fundamentally limited by retinal thresholding nonlinearities along the ON pathway. Credit: Nature Communications (2024).

Deep-brain recording reveals how a crucial relay station shapes human visual signals

Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have become the first to fully characterize cell activity from a little relay station in the center of the human brain. This aids

Reducing inflammation may protect against early age-related macular degeneration-like vision loss

University of Minnesota Medical School researchers have shown that reducing chronic inflammation can significantly protect against age-related macular degeneration (AMD)-like pathology in preclinical models. The findings were recently published in
