A quarter-century ago visual neuroscientists had little information about the number and
organization of retinotopic maps in human visual cortex. The advent of functional magnetic …

▪ Abstract In mammalian visual cortex, neurons are organized according to their functional
properties into multiple maps such as retinotopic, ocular dominance, orientation preference …

The organization of projections from V1 to areas V2 and V3 in the macaque monkey was
studied with a combination of anatomical tecniques, including lesions and tracer injections …

Our understanding of the development of the retina and visual pathways has seen
enormous advances during the past 25years. New imaging technologies, coupled with …

We evaluated the shapes, numbers, and spatial distribution of astrocytes within the glial
lamina, an astrocyte‐rich region at the junction of the retina and optic nerve. A primary aim …

Increased intraocular pressure (IOP) damages the retinal ganglion cell axons as they pass
through the optic nerve head (ONH). The massive connective tissue structure of the human …

purpose. Interest in neuroprotection for optic neuropathies is, in part, based on the
assumption that retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) die, not only as a result of direct (primary) …

Handbook of Visual Optics offers an authoritative overview of encyclopedic knowledge in the
field of physiological optics. It builds from fundamental concepts to the science and …

The mammalian optic chiasm is widely and properly regarded as a region where axons from
the temporal retina take an uncrossed course and separate from axons arising in the nasal …

The organisation of the primate nerve fibre layer and optic nerve head with respect to
eccentricity or the positioning of central and peripheral axons remains controversial. Crystals …
