Cell-Type-Specific Electric Stimulation for Vision Restoration
In this issue of Neuron, Jepson et al. (2014) demonstrate that electric stimulation of primate ON parasol ganglion cells evokes spiking patterns similar to those elicited by visual motion. This work represents progress in the development of cell-type-specific retinal prosthetics for vision restoration.
متن کاملNon-invasive electric current stimulation for restoration of vision after unilateral occipital stroke.
Occipital stroke often leads to visual field loss, for which no effective treatment exists. Little is known about the potential of non-invasive electric current stimulation to ameliorate visual functions in patients suffering from unilateral occipital stroke. One reason is the traditional thinking that visual field loss after brain lesions is permanent. Since evidence is available documenting v...
متن کاملVisual rehabilitation: visual scanning, multisensory stimulation and vision restoration trainings
Neuropsychological training methods of visual rehabilitation for homonymous vision loss caused by postchiasmatic damage fall into two fundamental paradigms: "compensation" and "restoration". Existing methods can be classified into three groups: Visual Scanning Training (VST), Audio-Visual Scanning Training (AViST) and Vision Restoration Training (VRT). VST and AViST aim at compensating vision l...
متن کاملstem cell therapy: a novel approach for vision restoration in retinitis pigmentosa
800x600 unfortunately, at present, degenerative retinal diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa remains untreatable. patients with these conditions suffer progressive visual decline resulting from continuing loss of photoreceptor cells and outer nuclear layers. however, stem cell therapy is a promising approach to restore visual function in eyes with degenerative retinal diseases such as retiniti...
