The retina is the layer of cells positioned at the back of your eyeball. This layer senses the light that comes into your eyeball and sends signals to your brain. The key retina parts include the rods ...

Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see – but it’s been a mystery how the intricate structure is created. Now, researchers at ...

The retina is a layer of tissue at the back of the eye that converts visual images into nerve impulses in the brain. Injuries to the eye can cause layers of the retina to separate, which is known as a ...

There’s an old saying, attributed to writers from Cicero to Shakespeare, that says the eyes are the windows to the soul. But it may be more accurate to say that your eyes, and in particular your ...

Researchers have developed a machine learning approach to compressing image data with greater accuracy than learning-free computation methods, with applications for retinal implants and other sensory ...

For more than 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same function are grouped into columns. Now, for the first time, researchers at the Max Planck ...

In a recent study published in the journal NPJ Digital Medicine, researchers have developed a deep learning algorithm capable of analyzing high-resolution images of retinal vasculature to detect ...

For years, they had been losing their central vision—what allows people to see letters, faces, and details clearly. The light-receiving cells in their eyes had been deteriorating, gradually blurring ...

A tiny implant that beams images straight to the retina, bypassing a damaged cornea altogether, could give sight back to millions living with corneal blindness – no donor tissue required. Human trials ...
