Inter-areal coordination of columnar architectures during visual cortical development

, 2008
The occurrence of a critical period of plasticity in the visual cortex has long been established, yet its function in normal development is not fully understood.

Docosahexaenoic acid preserves visual function by maintaining correct disc morphology in retinal photoreceptor cells

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2017
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) has essential roles in photoreceptor cells in the retina and is therefore crucial to healthy vision. Although the influence of dietary DHA on visual acuity is well known and the retina has an abundance of DHA-containing ...

Restoration of visual function by transplantation of optogenetically engineered photoreceptors

Nature Communications, 2018
A major challenge in the treatment of retinal degenerative diseases, with the transplantation of replacement photoreceptors, is the difficulty in inducing the grafted cells to grow and maintain light sensitive outer segments in the host retina, which ...

Where does brain neural activation in aesthetic responses to visual art occur? Meta-analytic evidence from neuroimaging studies [PDF]

, 2016
Here we aimed at finding the neural correlates of the general aspect of visual aesthetic experience (VAE) and those more strictly correlated with the content of the artworks. We applied a general activation likelihood estimation (ALE) meta-analysis to 47
