In a recent study researchers have inched closer towards effective treatment of Macular degeneration (AMD) through advancements in artificial retina implants. The study which was conducted by researchers from Stanford University and Bar-Ilan University was published in the recent issue of the journal Current Biology. We used a unique projection system which stimulated either natural vision artificial vision or a combination of natural and artificial vision while simultaneously recording the cortical responses in rodents implanted with a subretinal implant said the doctoral researcher Tamar Arens-Arad. The implant used by the researchers for this study was constructed using dozens of small
