Using microscopy and 3D confocal imaging on seven cadaveric eyes, we identified sympathetic nerves closely associated with β₂‐adrenergic receptor‐expressing macrophages in the human ciliary body (CB). These findings suggest a sympathetic‐macrophage neuroimmune link in the CB, potentially influencing ocular inflammation and degeneration, warranting ...

Representationalism and the Spatial Representational Contents of Afterimage Experiences
ABSTRACT Experiences of afterimages have often been cited as counterexamples to representationalism about vision, that is, as counterexamples to the thesis that the phenomenal character of a visual experience is completely determined by its representational content. In this paper, I discuss a possible counterexample to representationalism that is based

Abstract Objective To investigate the prevalence and surgical outcome of lens capsule disruption (LCD) in dogs undergoing cataract removal. Animals studied Medical records of 924 eyes undergoing phacoemulsification were analyzed retrospectively. Procedures Routine cataract surgeries with or without LCD were included. Any LCD other than routine anterior
