USC researchers use 3D microscopy and genetically engineered viruses to visualize and distinguish specific retinal ganglion cell types (shown here in green) from other cells in the retina (purple).

The retina is often called an “outpost of the brain” because crucial visual signal processing happens in the eye’s nerve ...

Andrew Kadis from Cambridge Vision Technology guides us through imaging technologies for retinal biomarkers in Alzheimer’s ...

These results are the first to suggest that progenitor ... to the contralateral side of the brain (retina is denoted by curves, ganglion cell axons are denoted by lines). Thyroid hormone promotes ...

The cause is that axons extending from neurons in the ... The process of making the correct connections starts when all retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) that carry this information from the retina ...

Using microelectrodes, scientists could show that cells in the retina play different roles. The produce different signals, which is important for the processing of visual information. These ...
