Individuals with inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) undergo a slow, genetically heterogeneous loss of vision, yet how the visual cortex and non-visual sensory, motor, and psychological systems adapt to this deprivation remains poorly characterized. Existing evidence comes mainly from single-modality, cross-sectional...

Recombinant proteins are the workhorse of modern biochemical research, yet their use
in vitro
is routinely questioned on grounds of physiological relevance. Here we provide a structured guide to the strengths and limitations of recombinant protein studies, framed within the broader contrast between systemic (top-do...

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) progressively deprives the retina of input, but whether the responsiveness of the visual cortex declines in parallel, remains preserved, or increases through compensatory gain remains unclear. Indeed, a weaker visually evoked response cannot, on its own, distinguish these possibilities, since...
