New research from the University of Rochester provides important insights into the cellular mechanisms behind AMD and offers potential avenues for new treatments.

A new study reveals how the eye resolves inflammation in the eye disease autoimmune uveitis.

Each year, the Institute for Scientific Information selects a list of Nobel-class scientists based on journal citation volume.

New research from UChicago shows that the superior colliculus, a brain region that controls eye movements, also plays an important role in higher cognitive functions like categorization and decision making.

Researchers at the National Eye Institute and their collaborators have identified a protein, known as RNF114, that reverses cataracts, a clouding of the eye’s lens that occurs commonly in people as they age.

The S-index challenge aims to incentivize and reward data sharing by promoting a new metric. Participants will be judged on their proposed methods for calculating the index.

NEI-funded team demonstrates for the first time that cytokines play an important role in the development and regeneration of the retinal cells that degenerate in glaucoma.

The team identified small molecules that can reduce the production of proteins linked to age-related macular degeneration.

Researchers have identified how brain cells begin to coalesce into a wired network in early development before experience has a chance to shape the brain.

NIH-funded researchers created a computational model that simulates the experience of a high-resolution implant. Their models suggests implants are unlikely to exceed normal human vision.
