How night vision is maintained during retinal degenerative disease: New findings in mice could inform novel treatment strategies for diseases that cause blindness – Science Daily
New insight on how people with retinal degenerative disease can maintain their night vision for a relatively long period of time has just been published.
New insight on how people with retinal degenerative disease can maintain their night vision for a relatively long period of time has been published today in the open-access eLife journal.The study in mice suggests that second-order neurons in the retina, which relay visual signals to the retinal ganglion cells that project into the brain, maintain their activity in response to photoreceptor degeneration to resist visual decline — a process known as homeostatic plasticity. Rod photoreceptors are…
