Scientists in Montreal have identified a key mechanism involved in the growth of nerve cells that are critical to mediate binocular vision, which allows people to see the world in three dimensions.
The work was led by Université de Montréal medical professor Michel Cayouette at the Montreal Clinical Research Institute's cellular neurobiology research unit.
It was published this month inTo see the world in 3D, our eyes look at an object from two different parts of the retina, a thin layer tissue at the back of the eyes that transforms light into biological signals. The overlap between these two fields of vision allows us to determine the depth, distance and speed of an object and make fast, sometimes lifesavings decisions. Crucial for this process is the proper growth of nerves from the eye to the brain.
