The second among the 12 pairs of cranial nerves is the optic nerve. Mary sat across the table from me in my office in a ...

A woman in her 40s reported a two month history of her shoes and gloves becoming increasingly tight, headaches, blurred vision, and a tight sensation in her skin. She did not report any joint pain or ...

Fibre optics and optical communications is the use of thin strands of glass for sending information encoded into light over long distances. Total internal reflection prevents light inserted into ...

These cables utilize fiber optic technology to transmit digital audio signals, setting them apart from many other types of audio cables. Before purchasing an optical audio cable, ensure your ...

The sclera runs from the cornea at the front of the eye to the back, where the optic nerve is. It surrounds but does not cover the iris, which is the colored part of the eye. The sclera is made of ...

Neuronal pathway finding is crucial for structured cellular organization and development of neural circuits within the nervous system. Neuronal pathway finding within the visual system has been ...

The Kara Dag Brigade operators were hunting for Russian drone teams. In particular, teams deploying fiber-optic drones that send and receive signals via millimeters-thick wires rather than via ...

with most studies unable to achieve axonal growth beyond the optic chiasm or reestablish connections with the brain. Future research priorities include directing axonal growth along correct pathways, ...

This study provides valuable insights into the complex genetics of dominant optic atrophy. Leveraging a fly model, the investigators provide solid evidence, albeit with small effect sizes, for a ...

NMO specifically affects the myelin, which is the insulation around the nerves. NMO mainly affects the spinal cord and the optic nerves—the nerves that carry signals from the eyes to the brain. As a ...

Fibers from the retina to the cortex passed through the optic nerve, optic chiasm, optic tracts, lateral geniculate nucleus, Meyer’s and Baum’s loops, and pretectal fibers. Their projections to the ...
