## Abstract The optic nerve is often affected in patients with glaucoma and multiple sclerosis. Conventional MRI can detect nerve damage, but it does not accurately assess the underlying pathologies. Mean diffusivity and diffusion anisotropy indices derived from diffusion tensor imaging have been s
## Abstract Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF or FGFโ2) has been implicated as a trophic factor that promotes survival and neurite outgrowth of neurons. We found previously that application of FGFโ2 to the proximal stump of the injured axon increases retinal ganglion cell (RGC) survival. We dete
## Abstract Microglia are prominently involved in neural degenerative diseases of the CNS and the retina. In this study, we determined the activation and phagocytotic function of different subtypes of retinal microglial cells at 1 week and 1 month following optic axotomy. Fluorescent DiI crystals w
## Abstract Advanced glaucomatous excavation of the optic nervehead can be demonstrated reliably with contact B scan ultrasonography; large physiologic cups do not produce an abnormal optic nervehead pattern. Demonstration of a depression at the surface of the optic nerve insertion must be interpre
