Investigating the Role of Subcortical Visual Pathways for 'Blindsight' and Gist Perception in Parkinson's Disease Using Multimodal Neuroimaging and Computational Neuroscience

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute

Parkinson's disease (PD) is primarily known as a movement disorder, but emerging evidence suggests that it might also significantly impact visual processing, specifically 'blindsight' and gist perception (Diederich et al., 2014;Uchiyama st al., 2012). Read more

Common genetic origins of visual and neurocognitive disorders

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute

There is emerging evidence that apparently distinct neurodegenerative diseases have common genetic origins. For example, genes such as ARMS2 and HTRA1, which are fundamental to regulating neuronal health, are implicated in both dementia and diseases of the retina (particularly age-related macular degeneration).
