For decades, restoring sight after severe eye damage sat firmly in the realm of science fiction. Now a wave of converging ...

Greenland sharks possess a DNA repair mechanism that maintains vision over centuries, preventing retinal degeneration despite ...

Past research has found that exposure to bright lights and high levels of noise can alter both physiological processes and ...

Bat perception has been examined for decades as a problem of sensory reach rather than animal intelligence. Many species ...

Neuralink’s Blindsight implant has received FDA breakthrough status, aiming to restore sight by stimulating the visual cortex ...

Rebooting the Eye To test this theory, the team injected an anesthetic called tetrodotoxin into the lazy eye of lab animals ...

Neurons are famously fragile, yet some injured cells manage to hang on, stabilize, and even reconnect. That quiet resilience ...

In an important step toward visual prostheses, biocompatible electrodes can convert infrared light into nerve impulses, as demonstrated by a team at TU Wien. A research team from the Medical ...

Scientists claim to have found a way to restore vision in people with a common developmental eye disorder by “rebooting” the retina to its early state, enabling it to grow and cure itself. Researchers ...

Summary: A new study in mice shows that briefly anesthetizing the retina of the weaker eye can restore its neural influence in the adult visual cortex. The treatment activates a specific burst-firing ...
