摘要
Postsynaptic membrance receptor proteins of retinal neurons proximal to the rods and cones mediate the transmission of visual signals at multiple types of chemical synapses in the normally functioning retina, and there is reason to believe that these proximal retinal neurons in certain cases remain functional despite the disease-induced loss of rod and cone visual signaling. The invention is a nanoscale molecular structure that can selectively attach to the extracellular face of specific membrane receptors of post-photoreceptor retinal neurons and, by modulating the postsynaptic receptor's activity in response to light, restore visual signaling in retina damaged by photoreceptor degenerative disease.
