Comparison of acute non-visual bright light responses in patients with optic nerve disease, glaucoma and healthy controls

This study examined the effect of optic nerve disease, hence retinal ganglion cell loss, on nonvisual functions related to melanopsin signalling. Test subjects were patients with bilateral visual loss and optic atrophy from either hereditary optic neuropat ...

Predictability, efference copies, and non-retinotopic motion

Michael Herzog, Marc Michael Lauffs

Perception is usually non-retinotopic. For example, visual perception is stable even though the retinal image is constantly changing due to eye and body movements. Likewise, a reflector on the wheel of a bicycle is perceived to rotate on a circular orbit, ...

Quantitative Analysis of Myelin and Axonal Remodeling in the Uninjured Motor Network After Stroke

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Reto Meuli, Alessandro Daducci, Cristina Granziera, Djalel Eddine Meskaldji, Gunnar Krüger, Gloria Menegaz

Objectives: Contralesional brain connectivity plasticity was previously reported after stroke. This study aims at disentangling the biological mechanisms underlying connectivity plasticity in the uninjured motor network after an ischemic lesion. In particu ...

A Dimerized HMX1 Inhibits EPHA6/epha4b in Mouse and Zebrafish Retinas

HMX1 is a homeobox-containing transcription factor implicated in eye development and responsible for the oculo-auricular syndrome of Schorderet-Munier-Franceschetti. HMX1 is composed of two exons with three conserved domains in exon 2, a homeobox and two d ...

Loss of MITF expression during human embryonic stem cell differentiation disrupts retinal pigment epithelium development and optic vesicle cell proliferation

Bernard Schneider

Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is a master regulator of pigmented cell survival and differentiation with direct transcriptional links to cell cycle, apoptosis and pigmentation. In mouse, Mitf is expressed early and uniformly in optic ...

Functional analysis of NR2E3 in retinal degenerations

The vertebrate retina is a model system of the development of the central nervous system. Because of its rapid development and the availability of many molecular tools the zebrafish is an established model of retinal development. Development and maintenanc ...

A polymer-based interface restores light sensitivity in blind rats

Diego Ghezzi

Progressive degeneration of photoreceptors is one of the major causes of adult blindness in “industrialized” countries; as an example, Retinitis pigmentosa defines a set of monogenic hereditary retinal diseases, with a prevalence of 1:4000 worldwide, cause ...

A framework for predicting the non-visual effects of daylight – Part II: The simulation model

Marilyne Andersen, Nicolas Roy

This paper describes a climate-based simulation framework devised to investigate the potential for the non-visual effects of daylight in buildings. It is part 2 of a study where the first paper focused on the formulation of the photobiological underpinning ...

Second Order Phase Transition Describes Maximally Informative Encoding in the Retina

David Barak Kastner

Neurons have limited dynamic ranges. Theoretical studies have derived how a single neuron should place its dynamic range to optimize the information it transmits about the input. However, neural circuits encode with populations of neurons. ...

Synaptic and cellular organization of layer 1 of the developing rat somatosensory cortex

Henry Markram, Yun Wang, Shruti Muralidhar

Layer 1 of the neocortex is sparsely populated with neurons and heavily innervated by fibers from lower layers and proximal and distal brain regions. Understanding the potential functions of this layer requires a comprehensive understanding of its cellular ...
