Myopia is the commonest ocular abnormality but as a research topic remains at the margins
of mainstream ophthalmology. The concept that most myopes fall into the category of …

Before the onset of sensory transduction, develo** neural circuits spontaneously generate
correlated activity in distinct spatial and temporal patterns. During this period of patterned …

The morphological and functional development of the vertebrate nervous system is initially
governed by genetic factors and subsequently refined by neuronal activity. However …

“Neural coding” is a popular metaphor in neuroscience, where objective properties of the
world are communicated to the brain in the form of spikes. Here I argue that this metaphor is …

A defining feature of early infancy is the immense neural plasticity that enables animals to
develop a brain that is functionally integrated with a growing body. Early infancy is also …

At various stages of the visual system, visual responses are modulated by arousal. Here, we
find that in mice this modulation operates as early as in the first synapse from the retina and …

Diabetic macular ischaemia (DMI) is traditionally defined and graded based on the
angiographic evidence of an enlarged and irregular foveal avascular zone. However, these …

Background Differences between people with schizophrenia and psychiatrically healthy
controls have been consistently demonstrated on measures of retinal function such as …

Abstract Circadian (24-h) clocks are cell-autonomous biological oscillators that orchestrate
many aspects of our physiology on a daily basis. Numerous circadian rhythms in …

Visual symptoms are relatively common in Parkinson's disease (PD) and optical coherence
tomography has indicated possible retinal thinning. Accumulation of aggregated α-synuclein …
