Correlated Activity in the Degenerate Retina Inhibits Focal Response to Electrical Stimulation
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022 Retinal prostheses have shown some clinical success in patients with retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration. However, even after the implantation of a retinal prosthesis, the patient’s visual acuity is at best less than 20/420. Reduced
