Critical period for vision-dependent modulation of postnatal retinal neurogenesis

This study shows that postnatal retinal neurogenesis in mice is modulated by visual experience during a critical period ending around postnatal day 70.

Genetic network regulating visual acuity makes limited contribution to visually guided eye emmetropization

The paper investigates the role of the retinal genetic network regulating visual acuity in visually guided eye emmetropization and finds it has a limited contribution.

Genome-wide analysis of retinal transcriptome reveals common genetic network underlying perception of contrast and optical defocus detection

The paper uses genome-wide RNA-seq to analyze retinal genetic networks involved in contrast perception and optical defocus detection, revealing their role in myopia development.

Analysis of genetic networks regulating refractive eye development in collaborative cross progenitor strain mice reveals new genes and pathways underlying human myopia

The paper identifies genes and pathways regulating refractive eye development in mice and links them to human myopia, revealing distinct genetic networks for baseline development and environmental susceptibility.
