Anatomy of the Eyeball01:20

Anatomy of the Eyeball

10.3K
The eye is a spherical, hollow structure composed of three tissue layers. The outer layer — the fibrous tunic, comprises the sclera — a white structure — and the cornea, which is transparent. The sclera encompasses some of the ocular surface, most of which is not visible. However, the 'white of the eye' is distinctively visible in humans compared to other species. The cornea, a clear covering at the front of the eye, enables light penetration. The eye's middle...

Vision01:24

Vision

60.8K
Vision is the result of light being detected and transduced into neural signals by the retina of the eye. This information is then further analyzed and interpreted by the brain. First, light enters the front of the eye and is focused by the cornea and lens onto the retina—a thin sheet of neural tissue lining the back of the eye. Because of refraction through the convex lens of the eye, images are projected onto the retina upside-down and reversed.

Neurogenesis and Regeneration of Nervous Tissue01:15

Neurogenesis and Regeneration of Nervous Tissue

1.8K
In the CNS, neurogenesis, the birth of new neurons from stem cells, is limited to the hippocampus in adults. In other regions of the brain and spinal cord, neurogenesis is almost non-existent due to inhibitory influences from neuroglia, especially oligodendrocytes, and the absence of growth-stimulating cues. The myelin produced by oligodendrocytes in the CNS inhibits neuronal regeneration. Furthermore, astrocytes proliferate rapidly after neuronal damage, forming scar tissue that physically...

The Retina01:32

The Retina

77.2K
The retina is a layer of nervous tissue at the back of the eye that transduces light into neural signals. This process, called phototransduction, is carried out by rod and cone photoreceptor cells in the back of the retina.

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways01:22

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways

9.8K
At the molecular level, visual signals trigger transformations in photopigment molecules, resulting in changes in the photoreceptor cell's membrane potential. The photon's energy level is denoted by its wavelength, with each specific wavelength of visible light associated with a distinct color. The spectral range of visible light, classified as electromagnetic radiation, spans from 380 to 720 nm. Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths exceeding 720 nm fall under the infrared category,...

Visual System01:26

Visual System

2.1K
Light enters the eye through the cornea, a transparent, dome-shaped surface covering the surface of the eyeball that helps to direct and focus incoming light. This light is then channeled toward the pupil, an adjustable opening whose size is controlled by the iris. The iris, a pigmented muscle, regulates the amount of light entering the eye by contracting or dilating the pupil, thereby ensuring optimal light levels for clear vision.
Once through the pupil, the light passes through the lens, a...

Área de la Ciencia:

  • La neurociencia
  • Oftalmología
  • La Medicina Regenerativa

Sus antecedentes:

  • Los seres humanos dependen en gran medida de la vista, lo que hace que la restauración de la vista sea un objetivo crítico.
  • Las células ganglionares de la retina (RGC) son cruciales para la transmisión de información visual al cerebro.
  • El daño a las RGC lleva a una pérdida de visión irreversible debido a su limitada capacidad regenerativa.

Objetivo del estudio:

  • Revisar las investigaciones actuales sobre la regeneración y reparación del sistema óptico.
  • Explorar posibles estrategias terapéuticas para restaurar la visión en casos de ceguera.
  • Evaluar la viabilidad de la restauración funcional de la visión en pacientes humanos.

Principales métodos:

  • Revisión de la literatura científica existente sobre la regeneración de GCR y la reparación del sistema óptico.
