Description
Retina Structure, Function, and Genetics focuses on recent research on the ocular structure responsible for visual function. Introductory chapters cover epidemiology and genetics of the retina, while structural chapters cover development, anatomy, the fovea, retinal cell types, and vasculature. Additional content covers neurotransmitters and circuits, phototransduction, ganglion cell physiology, higher order visual processing, and color and spatial vision.- Provides a comprehensive review of retinal structure and function- Includes anatomy, vasculature, and physiology- Identifies pathways to visual disorders- Covers color & spatial vision as well as higher order visual processing
