DOI:10.1167/iovs.15-17521 PURPOSE. Prosthetic restoration of partial sensory loss leads to interactions between artificial and natural inputs. Ideally, the rehabilitation should allow perceptual fusion of the two modalities. Here we studied the interactions between normal and prosthetic vision in a rodent model of local retinal degeneration.

Interactions of Prosthetic and Natural Vision in Animals With Local Retinal Degeneration.

PURPOSE Prosthetic restoration of partial sensory loss leads to interactions between artificial and natural inputs. Ideally, the rehabilitation should allow perceptual fusion of the two modalities. Here we studied the interactions between normal and prosthetic vision in a rodent model of local retinal degeneration. METHODS Implantation of a photovoltaic array in the subretinal space of normal...

مروری بر روش های کمک بینایی به منظور بهبود کیفیت زندگی بیماران مبتلا به دژنراسیون وابسته به سن ماکولا

Background and purpose: Age related macular degeneration is the most common cause of sever visual impairment and blindness among adults over the age of 65 years in developed countries. The purpose of this study was to review the literature on using low vision aids in age related macular degeneration and their effects on their quality of life. Materials and methods: A comprehensive search of ...

Performance of photovoltaic arrays in-vivo and characteristics of prosthetic vision in animals with retinal degeneration

Loss of photoreceptors during retinal degeneration leads to blindness, but information can be reintroduced into the visual system using electrical stimulation of the remaining retinal neurons. Subretinal photovoltaic arrays convert pulsed illumination into pulsed electric current to stimulate the inner retinal neurons. Since required irradiance exceeds the natural luminance levels, an invisible...

Block of gap junctions eliminates aberrant activity and restores light responses during retinal degeneration.

Retinal degeneration leads to progressive photoreceptor cell death, resulting in vision loss. Subsequently, inner retinal neurons develop aberrant synaptic activity, compounding visual impairment. In retinal ganglion cells, light responses driven by surviving photoreceptors are obscured by elevated levels of aberrant spiking activity. Here, we demonstrate in rd10 mice that targeting disruptive ...

Study of Photoisomerization in Cis-Retinal as a Natural Photo Switch in Vision Using Density Functional Theory

In the present study, theoretical chemical reactivates Photo isomerization in Cis-Retinal as a Natural Photo switch in Vision. DFT hybrid functional, B3LYP and, post-HF method, were the theoretical methods applied utilizing G09 software. 6-31G+ (d,p) basis set employed for structural optimizations, and single point computations performed using B3LYP/6-31G+(d,p). The isomers cis molecule retinal...
