A new study has found that blood vessels in the retina may hold early clues about a person’s risk of developing dementia.

Open-angle glaucoma occurs as retinal ganglion cells in the back of the eye degrade and die. These cells, which form the retina nerve layer, capture visual information and transmit it through the ...

The ganglion cell layer of the retina is labelled with red to show the presence of a cell sensitive to motion in the upward direction. In low light, these cells become generalists to help the ...

Photoreceptors are light-sensing cells shaped like rods and cones that contain opsins. Normally, photoreceptors convert light ...

Shihabeddin et al utilized single-cell RNA-Seq analysis of adult P23H zebrafish animals to identify transcription factors (e2fs, Prdm1a, Sp1) expressed selectively in neural progenitors and immature ...

A study has looked into whether a simple test could help predict and intervene early against Alzheimer's disease and related ...

It consists of layers of neurons: light-sensitive photoreceptor cells, bipolar cells, horizontal cells, amacrine cells and retinal ganglion cells, which transmit the visual information to other ...

Researchers at Cedars-Sinai have made an important discovery that could help doctors detect Alzheimer’s disease earlier and more easily—by studying the eyes. The team closely examined changes in the ...
