This group of clinicians and scientists will collaborate with Chethan Pandarinath, front right, on a $2.4 million, five-year project using artificial intelligence tools to revolutionize the speed and accuracy of brain-machine interfaces. The team includes Robert Gross, front left, a functional neurosurgeon; Jonathan Glass, back left, a neurologist and director of Emory's ALS Center; and Nicholas Au Yong, also a functional neurosurgeon.

Not-so-Blind Mice Make a Good Model for Studying Human Vision

The expression pattern of the photoreceptor protein OPN5 in a mouse retina. The protein is sensitive to violet light and, as reported in a new study from a group of international researchers, plays an important role in the ability of violet light to stop the progression of myopia. This violet light effect has been previously reported, but now researchers are beginning to understand how it works. The prevalence of myopia has been growing worldwide, and it is especially common in Asian countries.
