Article Abstract
Color and motion are used by many species to identify salient objects. They are processed largely independently, but color contributes to motion processing in humans, for example, enabling moving colored objects to be detected when their luminance matches the background. Here, we demonstrate an unexpected, additional contribution of color to motion vision in Drosophila. We show that behavioral ON-motion responses are more sensitive to UV than for OFF-motion, and we identify cellular pathways connecting UV-sensitive R7 photoreceptors to ON and OFF-motion-sensitive T4 and T5 cells, using neurogenetics and calcium imaging. Remarkably, this contribution of color circuitry to motion vision enhances the detection of approaching UV discs, but not green discs with the same chromatic contrast, and we show how this could generalize for systems with ON- and OFF-motion pathways. Our results provide a computational and circuit basis for how color enhances motion vision to favor the detection of saliently colored objects.

Reducing motion artifacts in craniocervical background subtraction angiography with deformable registration and unsupervised deep learning.
Radiol Adv
September 2024
Department of Radiology, Northwestern University and Northwestern Medicine, Chicago, IL, 60611, United States.
Background: In clinical practice, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) often suffers from misregistration artifact resulting from voluntary, respiratory, and cardiac motion during acquisition. Most prior efforts to register the background DSA mask to subsequent postcontrast images rely on key point registration using iterative optimization, which has limited real-time application.
Purpose: Leveraging state-of-the-art, unsupervised deep learning, we aim to develop a fast, deformable registration model to substantially reduce DSA misregistration in craniocervical angiography without compromising spatial resolution or introducing new artifacts.
Retinal progenitor cells (jCell) for retinitis pigmentosa.
Front Cell Neurosci
August 2025
Stem Cell Research Center, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA, United States.
Objective: To assess the safety and tolerability of intravitreal injection of human retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) at multiple dose levels in adults with non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
Design: A prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm, Phase I/IIa safety study of RPCs in adults with RP ( = 28). Two patient cohorts were studied: Cohort 1: BCVA no better than 20/200 and no worse than Hand Motions, and Cohort 2: BCVA no better than 20/40 and no worse than 20/200).
Vitrectomy as a Prevention for Retinal Detachment in High-Risk Eyes.
Clin Ophthalmol

Helen Keller Eye Research Foundation, Birmingham, AL, USA.
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (retinal detachment, RD) is the most common cause of spontaneous vision loss in aging eyes that were seeing normally until the moment of its occurrence. Causative retinal breaks usually occur in the form of peripheral tears at the vitreous base, resulting from traction exerted by the aging vitreous as it detaches posteriorly. Peripheral encircling laser retinopexy increases retinal resistance to vitreous traction in high-risk eyes.

Animals can improve their decision-making abilities by integrating information from multiple senses, which is especially beneficial when living in fluctuating environments. However, understanding how wild predators may use multimodal sensing when hunting prey in split-second interactions remains largely unexplored. As nocturnal hunters, bats rely on echolocation to navigate and to locate evasive prey, yet they have retained functional vision, despite the associated costs.

Visual motion perception declines during natural aging in most animals including humans. Edible berries of blackcurrant (BC) and its extracted anthocyanins (BCAs) have beneficial effects on human eyes. However, the effect of BCAs on the perception of moving objects and other dynamic visual patterns remains unknown.
