Eye movement is not just a function of cognition.  This was what a pair of Beckman Institute researchers namely, Psychology Professor Alejandro Lleras, a member of the Human Perception and Performance group, and Ph.D. candidate Laura Thomas, has discovered.  Eye function affects cognitive processes.  These researchers were able to come up with this conclusion through […]

The presence of essential signal that switches the eye development on was discovered by researchers from the University of Warwick.  The study was funded by Wellcome Trust.  This finding has potential for great contributions for stem cell research related to eye development.  Furthermore, this discovery opens up opportunities for research that would eventually lead to […]

Driving a vehicle calls for the synchronization of horizontal eye movements and steering. A recent study discovered that even a single night of sleep deprivation can affect the ability of a person to match up his eye movements with his ability to steer. The research was authored by Mark Chattington from Manchester Metropolitan University.  In […]

There is no single gene for eye color.  This was the conclusion that the researchers from the University of Queensland’s Institute for Molecular Bioscience (IMB) and the Queensland Institute of Medical Research had arrived to.  This study was first to prove such. The said researchers were able to discover that several genes influence the color […]

According to a study done by researchers from the University of South Alabama, College of Medicine, a respiratory pathogen generally found among newborns may subsequently be transmitted to the lungs after initial infection.  Such research was recently published in the Journal of Virology. This virus that commonly attacks children is the respiratory syncytial virus.  This […]
