Vision keeps maturing until mid-life
posted on
5/31/2017 12:16:00 PM
The visual cortex, the human brain's vision-processing center that was previously thought to mature and stabilize in the first few years of life, actually continues to develop until sometime in the late 30s or early 40s, a neuroscientist has found.

Scientists Have Reversed Age-Related Blindness by Deliberately Infecting Eyes With a Virus
posted on
5/20/2017 8:00:00 PM
A small and preliminary clinical trial has found that injecting a common cold-like virus into the eyes of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients - one of the leading causes of blindness in the US - can halt and even reverse the progression of the disease.

Scientists deploy CRISPR to preserve photoreceptors in mice
posted on
3/15/2017 7:45:00 PM
Silencing a gene called Nrl in mice prevents the loss of cells from degenerative diseases of the retina, according to a new study. The findings could lead to novel therapies for preventing vision loss from human diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa.
