Hybridization partially restores vision in cavefish, NYU study finds
Date:1/7/2008

nction, but all the connections to the brain for proper processing of information not used for that enormous length of time are restored.

Borowsky added that the findings could pave the way for greater understanding of human eyes.

These genes that have had their function altered by mutation are the same genes that normally play important roles in the development and maintenance of the eye in humans as well as in fishes, he explained. The cave fish system gives us an experimental model for learning about human eye development and diseases.
