Formation of the eye is a multi-step, dynamic process; it involves evagination of the optic vesicle, followed by distal and ventral invagination, leading to the formation of a two-layered optic cup ...

Are these brain organoids that spontaneously grew optic vesicles sentient? It's important to get the answer right. Consider this: "Until the 1980s, surgeons routinely operated on newborn babies ...

The evidence for the authors' claims is convincing, combining state-of-the-art conditional gene deletion in the mouse lens with histological and molecular approaches. This work should be of great ...

The optic chiasm is an X-shaped structure formed by the crossing of the optic nerves in the brain. The optic nerve connects the brain to the eye. To biologists, the optic chiasm is thought to be a ...
