Animal Models in Eye Research
by Panagiotis Tsonis
Pages: 232
Publisher: Academy Press / Elsevier
Edition: 2008
Language: English
ISBN: 978-0123741691
Description
The eye is a complex sensory organ, which enables visual perception of the world. Thus the eye has several tissues that do different tasks. One of the most basic aspects of eye function is the sensitivity of cells to light and its transduction though the optic nerve to the brain. Different organisms use different ways to achieve these tasks. In this sense, eye function becomes a very important evolutionary aspect as well. This book presents the different animal models that are commonly used for eye research and their uniqueness in evaluating different aspects of eye development, evolution, physiology and disease.
Enjoy!
