百余年来，任何和视觉相关的教科书都认为哺乳动物图像信息的感光（即“成像视觉”），完全依赖于视网膜中的视锥细胞（cones）和视杆细胞（rods）。这两类传统感光细胞被认为是图像视觉系统的感光核心，负责将光信号转化为神经电信号，传递至大脑进行图像认知处理。本世纪初，视网膜中第三类感光细胞—自感光视网膜神经节细胞（intrinsically photosensitive retinal ...

The company, a spin off from the Centre for Eye Research Australia (CERA), says it shows promise using the retina’s own stem ...

Humans and other primates are innately able to perceive fine details, vibrant colors and focus their attention on specific ...

With such photoreceptors, it might be possible to switch certain cell functions on and off using a light impulse. This would ...

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 ...

In the LIGHTHOUSE study, Atsena Therapeutics is evaluating ATSN-201 gene therapy for X-linked retinoschisis, leveraging ...

Exegenesis Bio's strategy targets multiple neovascular pathways and uses a proprietary capsid for efficient delivery to ...

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 dosing has been completed in ...

There are currently no treatments to replace the damaged macula in the retina, which is a leading cause of blindness. In a new study published in the journal Development, researchers from the ...

"When light falls onto the photoreceptors of the retina, electrical signals are generated in the nerve cells behind them," says Paul Werginz from the Institute of Biomedical Electronics at TU Wien.
