Retina and Optic Nerve

Visual dysfunction in type II diabetic patients revealed by a hyperacuity test

“…Whilst hyperacuity tasks are processed at higher levels of the visual cortex, a healthy retina (Watkins 1991) and optic nerve are necessary to transmit visual information ot visual cortex. Neuronal degeneration in the retinal ganglion cell layer and retinal nerve fiber layer is one of the earlies changes in diabetic retinopathy (Bloodworth 1962) and these degenerative changes are independet of vascular changes (Adams 1963). Since the retinal ganglion cells and their axons carry the sampled retinal image information it is understandable that OMDT are raised in NIDDM.…”

Microarray analysis of gene expression in adult retinal ganglion cells

“…Mammalian retina is a complex tissue composed of neuronal, glial, and vascular cell types among which retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are the only type of output neurons that send their axons to the visual cortex of the brain [1]. It is now well established that the crosstalk between RGCs and different retinal cell types is critical for RGC survival [2][3][4].…”
