What is Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI)? CVI refers to a brain condition, not an eye condition and results from damage to the visual systems in the brain that deal with processing and integrating ...

In all people with CVI, these visual pathway abnormalities result in some degree of functional vision impairment, which interferes with how a person is able to use their vision for everyday activities ...

About The Study: In this study of patients with type 2 diabetes who had no prior eye disorders, patients prescribed semaglutide or tirzepatide had an increased risk of nonarteritic anterior ischemic ...

Gene therapy with voretigene neparvovec-rzyl partially restores geniculostriate pathway function in LCA2 patients, improving visual processing. Initial LCA2 pathology shifts visual processing from the ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain’s visual system: one that’s responsible for processing color and fine spatial detail, and another that ...

New research links two widely used diabetes drugs, semaglutide or tirzepatide, to a rare but potentially vision-threatening eye condition, raising questions about drug-specific risks and the need for ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...

Bipolar disorder affects millions of Americans, causing dramatic swings in mood and, in some people, additional effects such as memory problems. While bipolar disorder is linked to many genes, each ...

In new research, scientists have found for the first time that disruptions to a particular protein called Akt can lead to the brain changes characteristic of bipolar disorder. The results offer a ...
