Exploring the Link Between Eyes and the Brain: Advancements in Eye Disease Research

The video discusses the use of technology to explore the connection between the eyes and the brain, focusing on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This technique helps researchers understand eye diseases by scanning the brain and establishing links with eye function. A significant portion of the brain is dedicated to visual processing, and fMRI allows for the observation of specific brain areas under demand. While fMRI has been used in neuroscience and psychiatry, its application in ophthalmology is limited. The research is supported by the Alvescroft Foundation, which aids visually impaired individuals.
