the lack of visual system in such works is particularly scary if the NEI is merged with "brain institute" at NIH* (*if the NIH survives). What then? Everybody will move to hippocampus and cortex and the population can lose vision from diseases? @liddelowsa.bsky.social @sethblackshaw.bsky.social
Exactly. If the neuroscience field collectively decides that retina is "boring" and its problems are "solved", then all of neuroscience is in for hard times.
I am so disappointed that 'privileged' groups (brain researchers) are not mindful of the 'less fortunate' researchers working on the retina. We should #support each other, not exclude one another. We need to stop this pattern as soon as possible.
