Meibomian gland   conjunctival epithelial cells   ion channels   aquaporin   tear secretion  

Modeling of Ion and Water Transport on the Human Ocular Surface Background Introduction The ocular surface plays a crucial role in human physiology and diseases, especially the stability and composition of the tear film, which directly impact ocular surface health. The tear film consists of three layers: an outer lipid layer (secreted by the meibom...

Fixational Eye Movements as Active Sensation for High Visual Acuity Academic Background Human visual perception is a complex process, especially when we attempt to maintain stable gaze. Even then, the eyes still produce small involuntary movements known as fixational eye movements (FEM). These FEM typically include drifts and microsaccades. Previou...

Sensory Processing in the Chilean Brush-tailed Mouse (Octodon degus): A Diurnal Precocial Rodent as a New Model to Study Visual Receptive Field Properties of Superior Colliculus Neurons

Medicine, Neurology, Ophthalmology,
Chilean Brush-tailed Mouse   Superior Colliculus   Visual Perception   Diurnal Vision   Model Animal  

Academic Background The visual system is a crucial component for animals to perceive their external environment, and research on its development and function is essential for understanding the sensory mechanisms of mammals. However, traditional studies have predominantly relied on nocturnal or crepuscular laboratory rodents, such as mice, rats, and...
