The optimal synapse for sparse, binary signals in the rod pathway:Neural Computation
, 2006 The sparsity of photons at very low light levels necessitates a nonlinear synaptic transfer function between the rod photoreceptors and the rod-bipolar cells.

Infection control in the brain and the eye
Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

Retinal Ganglion Cell Loss in Diabetes Associated with Elevated Homocysteine
, 2009 A number of studies have suggested that homocysteine may be a contributing factor to development of retinopathy in diabetic patients based on observed correlations between elevated homocysteine levels and the presence of retinopathy.

Heat Shock Protein 90 in retinal ganglion cells: association with axonally transported proteins
, 2001 The mRNAs for heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) are found at highest levels (differentially expressed) in the primate retinal fovea, the region of highest visual acuity, compared to the peripheral retina.

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract Conventional optical coherence tomography (OCT) has a floor effect in patients with severe visual field loss, such as seen in advanced primary open‐angle glaucoma (POAG). OCT angiography (OCTA) does not suffer from such a floor effect. However, which OCTA parameters are most useful for monitoring longitudinal progression is unclear.

Retinal adaptation to spatial correlations
, 2011 The classical center-surround retinal ganglion cell receptive field is thought to remove the strong spatial correlations in natural scenes, enabling efficient use of limited bandwidth.

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose To investigate changes in choroidal and retinal thickness before and during myopia control treatment with orthokeratology lenses (OKL) in myopic children. Methods This was a sub‐study of CONTROL and CONTROL2 studies. The present study was a 2‐year, prospective, single‐group interventional study consisting of a 6‐month pre‐treatment ...

Morphological properties of mouse retinal ganglion cells
, 2006 The mouse retina offers an increasingly valuable model for vision research given the possibilities for genetic manipulation. Here we assess how the structural properties of mouse retinal ganglion cells relate to the stratification pattern of the ...

The oscillatory response of the electroretinogram and neuronal adaptation
Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract After more than 50 years, there still remains a challenge and an interest to know more as well as extend and deepen our understanding of the small rapid wavelets, the oscillatory potentials (OPs), of the electroretinogram (ERG) and the neuronal adaptation of the retina.
