Australian Research Shows Nerve Cells Make New Connections
University of Newcastle PhD student Robert Sullivan has discovered that nerve cells in the retina will make new connections in response to damage caused by macular degeneration. His research has also shown that eyes affected by macular degeneration show changes over the whole retina, not just the macula.
More information is available in The Adelaide Advertiser (' Human nerve cells 'can reconnect', 23 February 2006) and in a University of Newcastle media release ('Student has eye on research discovery', 23 February 2006).
