Long STIR lesions in anti-MOG+ ON affected multiple segments of the optic nerve, but spared the optic chiasm compared with anti-AQP4+ ON, as summarised in table 1. Four anti-AQP4+ ON eyes also ...

New research reveals that Alzheimer's disease may impair nerve function not by reducing myelin, but by altering the proteins ...

In one study, sensitivity increased from 85% to 95%. Under the revised criteria, optic nerve lesions may be documented using MRI, optical coherence tomography (OCT), or visual evoked potentials (VEP).

Right next to these gaps are "paranodes," where the myelin sticks tightly to the nerve, helping anchor it in place and organize the nerve for fast, accurate signaling.

Recent research introduces a soft, injectable material designed for use in the eye to help protect and support damaged ...

A new study reveals that neural stem cell grafts can generate new myelin in the central nervous system, offering hope for ...
