Biochemical and physiological mechanisms of adaptation of organisms to the marine environment. Special emphasis is on biological responses to temperature, salinity, carbon dioxide, pH and bicarbonate ...

The development of gross eye morphology and retinal microcircuitry provide clues to the evolution of the vertebrate retina. The results are consistent with the notion that a primitive retina ...

A retinal tear is a common age-related eye condition. It causes eye floaters and flashes of light and may lead to more severe vision problems. On its own, a torn retina will not damage your eyesight.

Stargardt's Disease (STGD) and Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) are genetic-based relevant ocular diseases that may be affected, in opposite way, by vitamin A intake and other nutrients. [3–5] The ...

Over time, however, this "garbage disposal" became overwhelmed by the protein aggregates, leading to cell death in the zebrafish retina. “The discovery of this mechanism was unexpected ...

This study provides important morphological observations related to the potential roles of Hebbian plasticity in establishing brain connectivity, by examining synapses formed by functionally distinct ...

At the Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology we conduct research and education covering a wide range of knowledge areas. The Institute consists of five departments; Clinical neuroscience, Health ...

Purkinje also made a perimeter to study the color regions of the retina. The Purkinje tree is the visible network of blood vessels ... In November 1839, Purkinje founded the world’s first independent ...

The retina, behind the transparent optics of the eye, is the only neural tissue whose physiology and pathology can be non-invasively probed by optical microscopy. The aberrations intrinsic to the ...
