  • More about The Fovea: Structure, Function, Development, and Tractional Disorders

The Fovea: Structure, Function, Development, and Disease is a comprehensive reference that covers the biological knowledge of the fovea, its structural elements, and its role in human vision. It discusses the retinal structure, glia types, foveal development, and macular disorders, providing a translational approach for scientists, clinicians, and physicians interested in the fovea.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 290 pages

Publisher: Elsevier Science & Technology

The Fovea: Structure, Function, Development, and Disease is a comprehensive summary of the current biological knowledge regarding the two types of vertebrate fovea and its main structural elements, the Müller cells. This information is then utilized to explain various aspects of human vision, foveal development, and macular disorders.

The book begins by providing an overview of the retinal structure and the different types of retinal glia. It then surveys the structure and function of the primate and non-mammalian fovea types, discussing their similarities and differences. Foveal development is explored in detail, with a focus on the human fovea. The roles of Müller cells and astrocytes in the pathogenesis and regeneration of various human macular disorders are described.

Using a translational approach, this reference is a valuable text for scientists, clinicians, and physicians interested in the fovea. Readers will gain a new understanding of the cellular basics of the fovea, which is the most important part of the eye.

The book is well-organized and easy to read, with numerous illustrations and tables to assist in understanding the complex concepts discussed. It is an essential resource for researchers, students, and practitioners in the fields of ophthalmology, neuroscience, and vision science.
