Glaucoma is an irreversible neurodegenerative disease, where intraocular hypertension is developed due to the increased aqueous humor and blockage of the drainage system between the iris and cornea.

UAE doctors warn that summer heat can worsen health issues. People with neurological and cardiovascular diseases are at ...

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

Myelination in the opossum optic nerve: late appearance of inhibitors implicates an earlier non-myelin factor in preventing ganglion cell regeneration. J Comp Neurol 1996; 372:27–36.

We describe an automated method to locate the optic nerve in images of the ocular fundus. Our method uses a novel algorithm we call fuzzy convergence to determine the origination of the blood vessel ...

A new study led by researchers at National Taiwan University (NTU) reveals that subtle differences in retinal thickness between the eyes—known as inter-eye retinal asymmetry—may serve as an early and ...

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.

Figure 2. On days 7 and 14 after surgery, the changes in the sciatic nerve myelin ultrastructure and fluorescence in each group of rats were randomly observed. (A) Electron microscope at ×5,000 ...

Furthermore, a recent study reported that miR-30b-5p contained within skin-derived precursor Schwann cells (SKP-SC-EVs) promoted the regeneration of injured sciatic nerves and supported axon growth ...

Introduction Optic neuritis (ON) is the first symptom in a quarter of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), and optic pathways are affected in up to 80% during the course of their disease. 1 Effects ...

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).
