The cone photoreceptor mosaic in aniridia: within-family phenotype-genotype discordance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Purpose Investigate in vivo cone photoreceptor structure in familial aniridia caused by deletion in the PAX6 gene to elucidate the complexity of between-individual variation in retinal phenotype. Design Descriptive ... -
Discomfort glare and psychological stress during computer work: subjective responses and associations between neck pain and trapezius muscle blood flow
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Purpose Exposure to additional environmental stress during computer work, such as visual and psychological demands, is associated with increased eye and neck discomfort, altered moods, and reduced well-being. The aim of ... -
The Glutamine Transporter Slc38a1 Regulates GABAergic Neurotransmission and Synaptic Plasticity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)GABA signaling sustains fundamental brain functions, from nervous system development to the synchronization of population activity and synaptic plasticity. Despite these pivotal features, molecular determinants underscoring ... -
Single-cone imaging in inherited and acquired colour vision deficiencies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Colour vision deficiencies are common in humans and occur both as a consequence of inherited cone opsin mutations, altering the number or function of the different cone types expressed in the retina, and acquired through ... -
Utility of Tear Osmolarity Measurement in Diagnosis of Dry Eye Disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The prevalence of dry eye disease is high worldwide and poses a great burden on patients’ daily lives. Accurate diagnosis of the disease is important, and it requires application of various methods. Hyperosmolarity is ... -
Cognitive and sensorimotor function in participants being treated for trigeminal neuralgia pain
