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 …

A growing body of evidence demonstrates that the brain can reorganize dramatically
following sensory loss. Although the existence of such neuroplastic crossmodal changes is …

Retinal lesions caused by eye diseases such as glaucoma and age-related macular
degeneration can, over time, eliminate stimulation of parts of the visual cortex. This could …

We investigated the key neurodevelopmental factors that determine cortical thickness,
namely synaptogenesis and regression, by analyzing the thickness of the visual cortex 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 …

Aim To explore the altered spontaneous cerebral activity patterns and impaired functional
regions in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) using resting-state functional magnetic …

Purpose.: Patients with Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and cone-rod dystrophy
(CRD) have central vision loss; but CRD damages the retinal photoreceptor layer, and …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system that involves inflammation
and demyelination at multiple sites and causes a wide variety of clinical presentations with …

Cerebral visual impairment (CVI) results from perinatal injury to visual processing structures
and pathways and is the most common individual cause of pediatric visual impairment and …

Introduction Macular degeneration (MD) causes central visual field loss. When field defects
occur in both eyes and overlap, parts of the visual pathways are no longer stimulated …
