A deep learning model is capable of using optic disc photos to predict changes to their RNFL, a risk factor for glaucoma.

Optic nerve involvement: the visual pathway vulnerability The optic nerve, a frequent target in MS, presents another area where significant disease activity often escapes detection.

Any neurological condition that causes problems with your optic nerve, visual cortex, or the parts of your brain that relay information between these structures can cause visual changes.

Optic nerves were incubated in aCSF at 37°C with varying glucose concentrations (10 mM, 0 mM, or low glucose). After 24 hours, fluorescence analysis was used to assess cell survival.

Figure 1. Myelinated retinal nerve fibers with different degree of myelination in three patients. (Figure 1), optic disc pit in three eyes (Figure 2) including two complicated by maculopathyvisible on ...

What Is the Myelin Sheath? Myelin is made of fat and protein. It's wrapped in numerous layers around many of the nerves in the central nervous system (CNS), which includes your brain, spinal cord, and ...

When the myelin is damaged or missing, your optic nerve can't send the right signals to your brain. This can lead to changes in your vision.

The optic nerve features a fatty substance coating called myelin. This covering helps electrical impulses travel quickly from the eye to the brain, where the brain converts them into visual ...

Myelin sheath, a sleeve that protects a part of your nerve cells, and how it's related to multiple sclerosis. Read to learn more about its functions and how to protect it from damage.
