Project “Mechanisms, Genetics, and Performance of the Visual System: Clinical
Research in Humans and Animal Experimentation,” coordinated by Professor Dora

Macular Degeneration (AMD), a progressive degenerative retinal condition whose
evolution leads to severe impairment of central vision. From a functional
perspective, it is hypothesized that both structural retinal alterations, such
as those occurring in AMD, and transient physiological states, such as those
associated with night-shift work, may impact visual system performance.</span></p>
