A fovea is a pitted invagination in the inner retinal tissue (fovea interna) that overlies an area
of photoreceptors specialized for high acuity vision (fovea externa). Although the shape of …

Presence of a fovea centralis is directly linked to molecular specification of an avascular
area in central retina, before the fovea (or 'pit') begins to form. Modelling suggests that …

The development of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has allowed high-resolution
analysis of cell-type diversity and transcriptional networks controlling cell-fate specification …

Using high-resolution adaptive-optics imaging combined with retinal densitometry, we
characterized the arrangement of short-(S), middle-(M), and long-(L) wavelength-sensitive …

PURPOSE: To describe the histologic development of the human central retina from fetal
week (Fwk) 22 to 13 years. DESIGN: Retrospective observational case series. METHODS …

Humans rely on visual cues to navigate the world around them. Vision begins with the
detection of light by photoreceptor cells in the retina, a light-sensitive tissue located at the …

The population of infants at risk for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) varies by world region;
in countries with well developed neonatal intensive care services, the highest risk infants are …

Aetiological and immunological aspects of AMD, a leading cause of blindness in Western
countries, have been reviewed. Developmental studies suggest that anatomical features …

The central retina in primates is adapted for high acuity vision. The most significant
adaptations to neural retina in this respect are: 1. The very high density of cone …

The mammalian retina, like the rest of the central nervous system, is highly stable and can
maintain its structure and function for the full life of the individual, in humans for many …
