Resembling fluorescent flower petals, this image shows the blood vessels in a mouse retina, as seen using confocal microscopy. Retinal ganglion cells, shown here in blue, transfer visual information to the brain for perception. With funding from the National Institutes of Health, a Johns Hopkins team led by neuroscience Professor Alex Kolodkin is seeking to understand how various mutations affect the ability of retinal ganglion cells to process image motion, stabilize images, and prevent vision from becoming blurry.
