Blockade of pathological retinal ganglion cell hyperactivity improves optogenetically evoked light responses in rd1 mice
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a progressive retinal dystrophy that causes visual impairment and eventual blindness. Retinal prostheses are the best currently available vision-restoring treatment for RP, but only restore crude vision. One possible contributing factor to the poor quality of vision achi...
