The Retina in Health and Disease

The Retina in Health and Disease

Retina

Sight is the most important sense in higher mammals. The retina is the first step in visual processing and the window to the brain. It is not surprising that problems that arise with the retina lead to moderate to severe vision problems. Here we offer a collection of reviews as well as original papers discussing various aspects of retinal function and dysfunction. New approaches in retina research are described, such as the expression and localization of the endocannabinoid system in the normal retina and the role of cannabinoid receptors that may offer new research avenues in the development of potential treatments for retinal diseases.Additionally, new insights are offered in advancing knowledge toward the prevention and cure of visual pathologies, especially AMD, RP, and diabetic retinopathy.
