The main interest of the Ocular Neurobiology Group (ONG) is to study the functional activity of sensory nerves from the ocular surface, responsible for the genesis of sensations evoked by stimulation of ocular tissues as well as for the trophic maintenance and correct moisturizing of the ocular surface. Using both, electrophysiological techniques (recording nerve activity of sensory receptors in nerve endings and axons) and psychophysical studies (analysing the evoked sensations), the ONG investigates the functional characteristics of the primary sensory neurons innervating the anterior surface of the eye with particular attention to those neurons participating in ocular sensations of dryness, discomfort and pain.
