Researchers at Children's Hospital Boston, who specialize in studying the genetics of rare eye-movement disorders, have found a rare genetic syndrome whose implications go far beyond the eye, raising ...

Using piezoelectricity, an engineering team developed wearable sensors to examine eye movement to assess brain disorders or damage to the brain. A University of Houston engineering team has developed ...

Visual acuity -- the ability to discern letters, numbers, and objects from a distance -- is essential for tasks including recognizing a friend across a room and driving. Researchers previously assumed ...

Researchers at the Peninsula Medical School in Plymouth and Exeter have received a grant of £9,600 from the Northcott Devon Medical Foundation to continue its research into the genetic causes of eye ...

A University of Houston engineering team has developed wearable sensors to examine eye movement to assess brain disorders or damage to the brain. Many brain diseases and problems show up as eye ...

Non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep arousal disorders involve repeated episodes of incomplete awakening from sleep, most commonly sleepwalking or night terrors (also known as sleep terrors), but ...

Functional movement disorders (FMD), previously referred to as “psychogenic” movement disorders, are characterized by abnormal movements, postures or spasms, such as shaking (irregular tremor) or ...
