Oscillatory Transcranial Electrical Stimulation and the Quantitative Features of Phosphene Perception Background Introduction Phosphenes refer to the phenomenon of perceiving light points without any external visual stimuli. This phenomenon holds significant importance in visual neuroscience and consciousness studies, as it helps us understand how ...

GCN2-SLC7A11 Axis Regulates Cell Growth and Survival in Retinoblastoma Under Arginine Deprivation Background Retinoblastoma (RB) is a common intraocular malignant tumor in children, accounting for 4% of all childhood cancers. Although current treatments such as chemotherapy are effective in some patients, they have drawbacks such as multidrug resis...

Computational Modeling Study on the Construction of Receptive Fields in Midget Ganglion Cells of Primate Retina Academic Background The midget pathway in the primate retina is the foundation for high spatial resolution and color perception in the visual system. A key feature of this pathway is the center-surround organization of the receptive field...

The Impact of Retinal Acceleration Error on Catch-Up Saccades Research Background When humans track moving objects, they primarily rely on two types of eye movements: smooth pursuit and saccades. Smooth pursuit depends on visual motion signals, but when tracking errors accumulate, the brain initiates catch-up saccades to realign the gaze with the t...

The Chilean Brush-tailed Mouse (Octodon degus) as a New Model for Studying the Visual System Academic Background The study of the visual system has always been an important topic in the field of neuroscience. Traditionally, scientists have used nocturnal or crepuscular rodents (such as hamsters, rats, and mice) as models to study the development an...
