Despite the nursery rhyme about three blind mice, mouse eyesight is surprisingly sensitive. Studying how mice see has helped researchers discover unprecedented details about how individual brain cells ...

Score one for gamers. An experiment at Brown University has found a correlation between people who frequently play video games and their ability to retain learning about two quickly learned visual ...

A study in mice funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) shows for the first time that high-contrast visual stimulation can help damaged retinal neurons regrow optic nerve fibers, otherwise ...

A study in mice shows for the first time that visual stimulation can help damaged retinal neurons regrow optic nerve fibers (retinal ganglion cell axons). In combination with chemically induced neural ...

Monocular contrast sensitivity and microperimetry are useful indicators of visual function and its impact on activities of daily living in those with AMD. Patients with AMD do not rely on binocular ...

Recent advances in the fields of physical activity and education for children with visual impairments have underscored the importance of tailored interventions that promote not only physical ...

During sleep, one type of electrical oscillation in the brain called PGO waves (Ponto-Geniculate-Occipital) are thought to activate the visual cortex and serve as a visual dream generator during REM ...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that can affect a person’s life in several ways. For example, ASD can affect the way someone communicates, interacts with others, and ...

Bilal Haider receives funding from NIH and the Simons Foundation. Despite the nursery rhyme about three blind mice, mouse eyesight is surprisingly sensitive. Studying how mice see has helped ...

A study in mice funded by the National Institutes of Health shows for the first time that high-contrast visual stimulation can help damaged retinal neurons regrow optic nerve fibers, otherwise known ...
