New research from the University of Tokyo has explored how some animals regulate their ability to see blue light

The patient, who became blind 16 years ago, was able to make out lines, shapes and simple letters using artificial vision developed by researchers

To use the technology, the patient fixates on a smiley face while the device simultaneously scans both retinas

Researchers have described the formation of light sensitive structures within lab-grown miniature brains

Scientists have described an area of enhanced visual sensitivity within the visual cortex of mice – termed the ‘focea’

Scientists have pinpointed a group of cells that help people recognise familiar faces – findings that could lead to further insight on face blindness

Researchers confirm that a larger baseline pupil size is connected to a higher cognitive ability

UK scientists have developed technology that could screen patients for low macular pigment levels

New research suggests the network of nerves linking the eyes and the brain is 100 million years older than previously thought
