Self-organizing Neural Maps: From Retina to Tectum describes the underlying processes that determine how retinal fibers self-organize into an orderly visual map. The formation of neural maps is a fundamental organizing concept in neurodevelopment that can shed light on developme…

Manual of ocular diagnosis and therapy
Purpose: This study aims to quantify the retinal vascular blood flow in eyes affected by unilateral central retinal vein occlusions (CRVO) or branch retinal vein occlusions (BRVO). We created and explored a new, unitless metric for the severity of these diseases: relative blood …
"This atlas presents chapters on common and rare macular diseases including variants of age-related macular degeneration (dry, neovascular, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy), cystoid macular edema, macular telangiectasia, central serous retinopathy and pachychoroid disease, pho…
This atlas extensively covers numerous aspects of retinal vascular disease, e.g. topics in retinal and vascular imaging ranging from common diseases such as diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy to rarer entities including sickle cell retinopathy and Coats disease. It primarily …
Amblyopia is the leading cause of monocular visual impairment in children. Therapy for amblyopia is extremely beneficial in some children but ineffective in others. It is critical that the reasons for this discrepancy are understood. Emerging evidence indicates that current clin…
Unlike many regions of the central nervous system, the retina contains both of the major inhibitory fast neurotransmitters: GABA and glycine. In the inner plexiform layer of the retina, the excitatory bipolar cells connect to the ganglion cells, which are the retinal output neur…
Synchronization of neuronal responses across two or more neurons is ubiquitous in the visual system. Including other species, it has been observed in the retina (Mastronarde, 1989), the lateral geniculate nucleus (Alonso et al., 1996), and the visual cortex (Engel et al., 1991a)…
Vitreoretinal disease
The management of major vitreoretinal diseases has changed dramatically since publication of the first edition in 1999. The field continues to evolve rapidly and is becoming an increasingly complex, multifaceted practice of medicine and surgery. As such, retinal specialists are …
