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.
