New research shows a single neuron in fruit flies can trigger two distinct behaviors in response to the same smell.

Fiber-optic refractive index (RI) sensors have the advantages of low cost, simple optical setup, remote sensing, and simple fabrication. A cone-based round structure, which is the combined structure ...

Glaucoma is an irreversible neurodegenerative disease, where intraocular hypertension is developed due to the increased aqueous humor and blockage of the drainage system between the iris and cornea.

A deep learning model is capable of using optic disc photos to predict changes to their RNFL, a risk factor for glaucoma.

In recent years, advances in molecular genetics have impacted the understanding and the classification of hereditary retinal and optic nerve disease perhaps more than any other group of eye diseases.

This rare autosomal recessive syndrome is characterized by an early onset rod-cone retinal dystrophy of the Leber congenital amaurosis type and multicystic renal dysplasia leading to progressive ...

I review the normal development of the optic nerve and chiasm and the main developmental disorders: Optic Nerve Aplasia, Optic Nerve Hypoplasia and Achiasmia.
