New insight for eyesight: An international #research team led by #NTUsg has captured, for the first time, a “twitch” in the eye’s night-vision cells at the exact moment they detect light. This discovery uncovers a previously unseen physical process underlying how low-light vision begins in the #retina and could pave the way for new, non-invasive tools for the earlier #diagnosis of blinding #EyeDiseases. https://t.co/WSan8KvEbP
