Findings offer new insights into how our movements are coordinated

The research team in the USC Viterbi School of Engineering’s Department of Biomedical Engineering is exploring a non-surgical solution that could restore sight by using another of the five senses. Sound.

A team of scientists has discovered how working memory is “formatted”—a finding that enhances our understanding of how visual memories are stored.

A study of the visual system of fruit flies reveals factors regulating neuron development and uncovers similarities with human brain development

A new study indicates base editing may provide long-lasting retinal protection and prevent vision deterioration in patients with inherited retinal degeneration, specifically in Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) patients.

The nervous system is made up of diverse cells that arise from progenitors in a specific time-dependent pattern. In a new study, researchers have uncovered the molecular players involved and how the timing is controlled.

Duke researchers demonstrate how a few tricks learned from their OCT research can improve on LIDAR, a technology used for vision in self-driving cars.

University of Pennsylvania researchers have developed a gene therapy that restores dim-light vision in dogs with a congenital form of night blindness, offering hope for treating a similar condition in people.

Researchers at Brown University developed a new model to predict human flocking behavior based on optics and other sensory data.

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have found that a drug once widely used to wean alcoholics off of drinking helps to improve sight in mice with retinal degeneration.
