Mashup Score: 2Vision improvement is long-lasting with treatment for blinding blood vessel condition - 2 year(s) ago
NIH-funded study finds many patients with retinal vein occlusion have vision benefits, but require long-term monitoring and treatment
Source: www.nei.nih.govCategories: Latest Headlines, OphthalmologyTweet-
New #NEIfunded research shows that a new treatment for retinal vein occlusion (a blockage in the small veins carrying blood away from the retina) can improve a patient’s vision long-term, but they still need close monitoring. Read more: https://t.co/QNxexuHU4w

Mashup Score: 0How Do Our Eyes Stay Focused on What We Reach For? Researchers Uncover How Our Gaze is “Anchored” in the Brain - 2 year(s) ago
A team of researchers sheds additional light on the machinations that ensure we don’t look away from where we are reaching.

Did you know that the area of our brains that control reach, like a ball in a baseball or changing radio stations while driving, stops our eyes from moving so we can focus? It’s called “gaze anchoring” ⚓. Learn more from @nyuniversity: https://t.co/VEYX4toEYu #NEIfunded

The discovery in mice suggests initiators of cell stress are present prior to death of retina’s light-sensing photoreceptors

NEI research shows that changes in the structure of cells happen before eye diseases like AMD or retinitis pigmentosa can be detected. These findings could lead to new potential treatments for these conditions! Read more: https://t.co/RvyGpIxBwN #NEIfunded

Mashup Score: 1Unveiling the abstract format of mnemonic representations - 2 year(s) ago
Kwak and Curtis demonstrate that the memory formats measured with fMRI for two different visual features, orientation and motion direction, are shared in an abstract line-like format. These results demonstrate that the goal-relevant details of past percepts are recoded into abstract working memory representations in the brain.

#NEIfunded research discovered neural activity patterns in the visual & parietal cortex were interchangeable in memory, giving us a better idea of how our "working memory" works! Read more from @NeuronCellPress paper: https://t.co/yseEVePYMh https://t.co/hwya6dNQkF
