Journal ArticleDOI
Human photoreceptor topography
TL;DR: The total number of foveal cones is similar for eyes with widely varying peak cone density, consistent with the idea that the variability reflects differences in the lateral migration of photoreceptors during development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topography of ganglion cells in human retina.
TL;DR: The spatial distribution of presumed ganglion cells and displaced amacrine cells in unstained whole mounts of six young normal human retinas whose photoreceptor distributions had previously been characterized was quantified, suggesting meridianal differences in convergence onto individual ganglION cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
A large genome-wide association study of age-related macular degeneration highlights contributions of rare and common variants

TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that rare coding variants can pinpoint causal genes within known genetic loci and illustrate that applying the approach systematically to detect new loci requires extremely large sample sizes.
Journal Article
Photoreceptor loss in age-related macular degeneration.
TL;DR: Photoreceptors are lost in NE-AMD as well as in the more severe exudative form, consistent with functional and clinical studies, and the authors propose that rods die in older eyes without evidence of overt retinal pigment epithelial disease.
Journal Article
Aging of the human photoreceptor mosaic: evidence for selective vulnerability of rods in central retina.
TL;DR: The stability of both rod coverage and rhodopsin content despite decreasing cell number suggests plasticity of the adult rod system and that age-related declines in scotopic sensitivity may be due to postreceptoral factors.
