The gray mouse lemur, the smallest species of primates, has excellent vision. More than one fifth of his cerebral cortex is dedicated to visual processing…
Scientists Reverse the Aging Clock: Restore Age-Related Vision Loss Through Epigenetic Reprogramming
Proof-of-concept study represents first successful attempt to reverse the aging clock in animals through epigenetic reprogramming. Scientists turned on embryonic genes to reprogram cells of…
In all three cases, the Sagrada Familia is the same colour but looks different due to the surrounding colors. This is a visual illusion. Do…
The center portion of the lens corrects nearsightedness so that distance vision is clear, and it focuses light directly on the retina. The outer portion…
Princeton-led team trains wild hummingbirds to discriminate UV color combinations. To find food, dazzle mates, escape predators and navigate diverse terrain, birds rely on their…
