Scientists have for the first time looked deep into the protein structure that may determine our vision - and discovered that ...

A new study suggests that never-seen-before stem cells in the human retina can restore vision in mice with a common eye disorder. But more work is needed to translate the treatment to people.

A major challenge lies in the virus' structure and regulatory mechanisms, which have remained largely unclear. In particular, scientists have long struggled to fully understand its nucleocapsid ...

Seidler's research focuses on understanding how the central nervous system and brain structure adapt to the ... involves structural changes to the eye and optic nerve, leading to vision problems ...

In an effort to address a shortage of Self-Defense Forces personnel, the government has introduced measures to improve working conditions, including revising the pay structure and increasing duty ...

Though we learn so much during our first years of life, we can’t, as adults, remember specific events from that time ... “Statistical learning is about extracting the structure in the world around us, ...

The findings suggest that infantile amnesia — the inability to remember the first few years of life — is probably caused by difficulties in recalling memories, rather than creating them.

For years, scientists have puzzled over why we can’t remember our earliest years. A groundbreaking fMRI study now suggests that infant memories are formed but become inaccessible later in life. A new ...

Having abnormally small pupils may indicate a health problem. The pupil, the dark center of the eye, determines how much light reaches the light-sensing retina at the back of the eye. Muscles in the ...

As a demonstration, they grew an artificial, muscle-powered structure that pulls both concentrically and radially, much like how the iris in the human eye acts to dilate and constrict the pupil. The ...
