Retina Rewires For Different Light Levels 

Connections in the retina may not be as fixed as first imagined, according to scientists from Oregon Health & Science University. Read more in 'Retina Adapts To Light Changes By Rewiring Itself' (Oregon Health & Science University media release, 24 May 2005). Their research is published in the May 5 issue of the journal Neuron and Henrique von Gersdorff, PhD, is a co-author. The research may help in the development of retinal implants and in the understanding of retinal disease.

Thanks to Blind World Magazine for posting information about this research to the Retinal Degeneration Discussion List (RPList).
