Discover how golden apple snails' eye regeneration offers insights into restoring human vision through genetic understanding and CRISPR technology.

Researchers have developed eye drops that extend vision in animal models of a group of inherited diseases that lead to progressive vision loss in humans, known as retinitis pigmentosa. Researchers at ...

From a dog that 'sees with its nose' to an eagle spotting humans kilometres away, animal senses work in fascinating ways.

A group of scientists restored vision in a monkey by using human stem cells to fix a hole in its retina. The research could open new doors for vision treatment in humans and other animals, too. A new ...

Imagine you're a red-tailed hawk, soaring through the sky. You scan the ground, looking for your next meal. You spot a squirrel hundreds of feet below you. Its coat helps it blend into the ground, but ...

Human vision relies on photoreceptor cells in the retina that react to visible light and trigger neurons in the optic nerve to send signals to the brain. Degradation of these photoreceptors is the ...

Vision is one of the most fascinating abilities in the animal kingdom. From birds that can spot prey miles away to sea creatures that see light we cannot even imagine, animals experience the world ...

Many familiar creatures see the world very differently from humans, with limited colours shaping how they hunt, move and ...

Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience become the first to fully characterize cell activity from a little relay station in the centre of the human brain. This aids our understanding ...
