Studying these diseases in human retinas has been hindered by the immediate loss of neuronal activity postmortem. While recent studies restored limited activity in postmortem CNS tissues, synchronized neuronal transmission &gt;30 minutes postmortem remained elusive. Our study overcomes this barrier by reviving and sustaining light signal transmission in human retinas recovered up to four hours and stored 48 hours postmortem. We also establish infrared-based\n                  <jats:italic>ex vivo<\/jats:italic>\n                  imaging for precise sampling, a closed perfusion system for drug testing, and an\n                  <jats:italic>ex vivo<\/jats:italic>\n                  ischemia-reperfusion model in mouse and human retina. This platform enables testing of neuroprotective and neurotoxic effects of drugs targeting oxidative stress and glutamate excitotoxicity.
