The retina is part of the central nervous system, and therefore a direct extension of the brain. This is why changes in the brain could potentially also be detected in our eyes. An international team ...

Multiple retinal maps of single eyes with white indicating where the retina is thickest and coloured areas representing thinner regions of the retina. The research identified 294 genes influencing the ...

Thinning of the eye's retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) appears to be a strong predictor of cognitive decline, new research shows. Investigators found healthy individuals with RNFL thinning were twice ...

Wenzhou Medical University and collaborating institutions have identified a population of human neural retinal stem-like cells able to regenerate retinal tissue and support visual recovery. Vision ...

The condition of the eye’s retina, and in particular the measure of retinal thickness (influenced by factors such as the amount of vascularization, atrophy, ischemic damage, and the presence or ...

Researchers have conducted one of the largest eye studies in the world to reveal new insights into retinal thickness, highlighting its potential in the early detection of diseases like type 2 diabetes ...
