Optica Fall Vision Meeting September 24-27 2026University of Rochester, Rochester, NY

People explore the visual world through rapid eye movements called saccades. Here, the authors show that the size of each saccade determines which level of spatial detail becomes most visible after…

IntroductionThyroid eye disease (TED) is a debilitating condition characterized by orbital fibroblast (OF) activation and excessive hyaluronan (HA) accumulat...

The Department offers a wealth of opportunities for postdoctoral research in the wide range of scientific disciplines represented in the Brain & Cognitive Scien

Acid ceramidase deficiency causes altered sphingolipid signaling and promotes disease phenotype(s) in a lysosomal storage disorder, CLN3 disease.

The past few years have seen an increase in the use of encoding models to explain neural responses to natural speech. The goal of these models is to characterize how the human brain converts acoustic…

AbstractContext. In thyroid eye disease (TED), the connective tissue behind the eye becomes inflamed and expands, partly due to excessive deposition of hya

Scientific Reports - A bioluminescent activity dependent platform, BLADe, for converting intracellular activity to photoreceptor activation

Laser-induced refractive index change (LIRIC) techniques typically focus femtosecond laser pulses to a tight spot to achieve the high intensities required to alter ophthalmic materials. A line-focus implementation...

Named positions are part of a long-standing tradition to celebrate the work of URochester’s faculty as researchers, scholars, and teachers.

Bacterial keratitis, or bacterial infection of the cornea, causes at least 2 million new cases of blindness annually (1). While a diversity of bacterial species can cause corneal infections, clinical…

Linguistic context has been shown to influence the fidelity of acoustic speech tracking, but it remains unclear whether this reflects listener-driven processing or differences in speaker…

Glaucoma is a complex neurodegenerative disease with multiple subtypes, yet all are characterized by the progressive dysfunction and loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), which ultimately results in…

Fine-scale exogenous attention within the foveola selectively enhances contrast gain at low-to-mid spatial frequencies while increasing response gain across a broad spatial frequency range.
