Retina

  It is already time for the 11th and second-to-last edition of our monthly blog in 2020. We hope you enjoyed last month’s post about Neuroengineering as well as our previous posts about a variety of scientific topics (MEA for drug screening, Beta Cells, Burst Detection, Axons, Retina, Organoids, Human iPSC-Derived Neurons, Neurons and Viruses and Spike Sorting). In our November edition, we highlight the latest developments on Retinal Organoids. We highlighted the article written by Cowan et al. which developed functioning human retinas in a dish. Please find a…

We hope you enjoyed the last Monthly Must-Reads about Neurons and Viruses. In the other months this year we mainly highlighted scientific topics such as Axons in January, Retina in February and last month we highlighted Organoids. This month we want to highlight a topic that complements the above four editions perfection! During times of COVID-19 and the significant amount of home-office hours, you might have more time to analyse all of your data. Therefore we have decided to pick five articles. that allow…

Welcome to the first MxW Monthly Must-Reads (MMM) of 2019! This month’s selection of articles focuses on retina research. The retina, an extension of the brain and the first stage of visual input processing, extracts information about various features of visual stimuli, including size, contrast, colour, orientation and motion direction. With a diversity of neural subtypes both on the levels of local processing and downstream output via retinal ganglion cells, the retina is an amazing model for studying functional sub-circuits…
