It's made up of at least 10 distinguishable layers, and is packed with more sensory nerve cells than anywhere else in the body. The retina is home to two different kinds of light receptor cells ...

Solving the problem of converting light into ideas, of visually understanding features and objects in the world, is a complex task far beyond the abilities of the world’s most powerful computers.

The mammalian retina is a complex system consisting out of cones (for color) and rods (for peripheral monochrome) that provide the raw image data which is then processed into successive layers of ...

Here we see three RPEs with their cell bodies in brown (1) grown on a biodegradable scaffold in blue (2) and projections (small tendrils) emerging from the top of these cells in green (3). Biology in ...

Retinal layer segmentation in optical coherence tomography ... severe pathologies like age-related macular degeneration (AMD)[2]. These models utilize three-dimensional (3D) spatial context ...

The idea is to create layers of the various types of retinal neurons that can be derived in a lab from adult stem cells. The method would allow the layers to be correctly oriented to mimic the ...

The mammalian retina is a complex system consisting out of cones (for color) and rods (for peripheral monochrome) that provide the raw image data which is then processed into successive layers of ...

W orking with mammalian retinal cells, neuroscientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine have shown that unlike most light-sensing cells (photoreceptors) in the retina, one special type uses two different ...
