Retinal prostheses are designed to restore a basic sense of sight to people with profound
vision loss. They require a relatively intact posterior visual pathway (optic nerve, lateral …

Retinal degeneration, a leading cause of blindness worldwide, is primarily characterized by
the dysfunctional/degenerated photoreceptors that impair the ability of the retina to detect …

Perceptual learning is considered a manifestation of neural plasticity in the human brain. We
investigated brain plasticity mechanisms in a learning task using noninvasive transcranial …

Retinal prosthesis has been translated from the laboratory to the clinic over the past two
decades. Currently, two devices have regulatory approval for the treatment of retinitis …

Degenerative retinal diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration cause
irreversible vision loss in more than 10 million people worldwide. Retinal prostheses, now …

Retinal prosthetic implants are the only approved treatment for retinitis pigmentosa, a
disease of the eye that causes blindness through gradual degeneration of photoreceptors …

A hybrid system for producing conducting polymers within a doping hydrogel mesh is
presented. These conductive hydrogels demonstrate comparable electroactivity to …

Retinal gene supplementation therapy such as the first approved one, voretigene
neparvovec, delivers a functioning copy of the missing gene enabling the protein …

Electrical stimulation is currently used to treat a wide range of cardiovascular, sensory and
neurological diseases. Despite its success, there are significant limitations to its application …

Objective. Intra-retinal placement of stimulating electrodes can provide close and stable
proximity to target neurons. We assessed improvement in stimulation thresholds and …
