World’s First ‘Pathoconnectome’ Could Point Toward New Treatments for Neurodegenerative Diseases
University of Utah HealthScientists from the John A. Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah have achieved another first in the field of connectomics, which studies the synaptic connections between neurons. The National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded lab has produced the first pathoconnectome, showing how eye disease alters retinal circuitry.
