A recent hypothesis to enter the literature suggests that glaucoma is a neurodegenerative
disease. The basis for this has been the finding of central nervous system changes in …

Purpose Over the last two decades, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been widely
used in neuroscience research to assess both structure and function in the brain in health …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Neuropathologic studies in experimental and human
glaucoma have demonstrated degenerative changes in the optic pathway. The purpose of …

Background The assessment of blood lipids is very frequent in clinical research as it is
assumed to reflect the lipid composition of peripheral tissues. Even well accepted such …

Purpose.: To establish whether primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is associated with a
change in volume of the visual pathway structures between the eyes and the visual cortex …

Many eye diseases reduce visual acuity or are associated with visual field defects. Because
of the well‐defined retinotopic organization of the connections of the visual pathways, this …

Purpose: To analyze the axonal architecture of the optic nerve in patients with normal‐
pressure glaucoma and determine whether these parameters correlate with the disease …

Methods.: High-resolution T1-weighted anatomical brain magnetic resonance images (MRI)
were collected in 15 patients with glaucoma of varying severity and in 15 age-, race-, and …

purpose. To compare different methods for quantification of optic nerve and nerve sheath
diameter. To apply a novel magnetic resonance protocol using half-Fourier acquired single …

Purpose To compare optic disc topography in eyes with compressive optic neuropathy
(CON) and open-angle glaucoma (OAG) using spectral-domain (SD) optical coherence …
