The mammalian retina converts light into a series of neural signals sent to the brain. Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), the output neurons of the retina, …
Abstract of (Effective Gold Nanoparticle Delivery to the Retina for Plasmonic Retinal Prosthetics), by (Hafithe Mohammed AlGhosain), Degree [ScM.], Brown University, May (2019). Retinitis pigmentosa …
Work in the last ten years has demonstrated the existence of a third class of light-sensing neurons in the mammalian retina, intrinsically-photosensitive retinal ganglion cells …
Chapters 1-3: Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) are rare mammalian photoreceptors essential for non-image-forming vision functions, such as circadian photoentrainment and the pupillary light …
Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) transmit visual information encoded by the retina to over 20 different subcortical brain areas. Many of these brain regions receive input …
Retinal cells form specific circuits, transferring light information to the brain for higher visual processing. Retinal Ganglion Cells (RGCs) are neurons that encode this information, …
Retinitis pigmentosa, age-related macular degeneration, and Stargardt disease are the most common incurable eye diseases associated with outer retinal degeneration leading to blindness. Currently, there …
The visual system takes information from a handful of photoreceptor types and, using a complex circuitry of neurons, transforms that information into a wide range …
The optokinetic reflex stabilizes slippage of a background image on the retina. It works in tandem with the vestibulo-ocular reflex to steady the visual field …
