Hold your finger a few inches from your eyes, focus on it for three seconds, then shift your focus to a distant object about ...

In addition to rod photoreceptor loss, many mutations in rod photoreceptor-specific genes cause degeneration of other neuronal types. Identifying mechanisms of cell–cell interactions initiated ...

However, the study provides limited new insights into the relationship between retinal lamination defects and overall retinal function. Neural lamination is a common feature of the central nervous ...

Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a group of monogenic disorders caused by mutations in more than 280 genes, and are characterized by progressive degeneration of photoreceptor cells in the retina.

How they do so is now being elucidated. We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red, green, and blue, while dimness or brightness is detected by ...

Disruption of photoreceptor cilia has been implicated in a variety of retinal diseases, collectively called retinociliopathies, such as Leber congenital amaurosis and retinopathy of prematurity.

"For the first time, we realized that the effect of these photoreceptors is not everywhere along the stem." This first-of-its ...

Trilobites lived between 521 and 252 million years ago. They were one of the first groups of creatures to develop complex, compound eyes, where many individual lenses focus light onto groups of ...
