New research in mice suggests that 'dormant' cone photoreceptors in the degenerating retina are not dormant at all, but continue to function, producing responses to light and driving retinal activity ...

Your eyes are relatively small parts of your body, but they’re immensely complex. Your eyes are full of dozens of different parts, all of which work together to produce your vision. One of the most ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece is part of a series dedicated to the eye and improvements in restoring vision. In 1999, I defined ...

Researchers report they have used retinal cone photoreceptors derived from human stem cells to restore vision in mice with advanced retinal degeneration. They are now designing a clinical trial to ...

There are millions of them in our eye’s retina—special photoreceptor cells known as rods and cones that allow us to perceive a wide range of light intensities and colors. "There is a critical need to ...

The colors we perceive have been dictated by the intricate workings of our eyes. However, a new possibility has emerged: breaking those limits and unlocking a color previously unseen by human eyes.

Differences in kinetics of retinal output signals originate at least in part from differences in synaptic output from distinct bipolar cell types.
