A fovea is a pitted invagination in the inner retinal tissue (fovea interna) that overlies an area
of photoreceptors specialized for high acuity vision (fovea externa). Although the shape of …

Species that are highly reliant on their visual system have a specialized retinal area
subserving high-acuity vision, eg, the fovea in humans. Although of critical importance for …

Bioengineering systems have transformed scientific knowledge of cellular behaviors in the
nervous system (NS) and pioneered innovative, regenerative therapies to treat adult neural …

Vax2 is an eye-specific homeobox gene, the inactivation of which in mouse leads to
alterations in the establishment of a proper dorsoventral eye axis during embryonic …

It has been long believed that the anteroposterior (AP) and dorsoventral (DV) axes in the
developing retina are determined independently and also that the retinotectal projection …

The visual system of a particular species is highly adapted to convey detailed ecological and
behavioral information essential for survival. The consequences of structural mutations of …

The vertebrate eye develops from the optic vesicle (OV), a laterally protrusive structure of the
forebrain, by a coordinated interaction with surrounding tissues. The OV then invaginates to …

In the mature eye, three distinct tissue fates, retina, ciliary body, and iris, arrange with a strict
linear organization along the central (back) to peripheral (front) axis. The establishment of …

Although the neural retina appears as a relatively uniform tissue when viewed from its
surface, it is in fact highly patterned along its anterior–posterior and dorso-ventral axes. The …

Background: During development of the vertebrate eye, optic tissue is progressively
compartmentalized into functionally distinct tissues. From the central to the peripheral optic …
