A single snapshot of a cell can only reveal so much. By imaging several layers in a sliver of tissue, the researchers could determine whether a nerve fiber tunneled through a cell rather than over or ...

In between the two layers, there were thick bundles of long nerve fibers that are again unique to dolphins. Interestingly, some fibers end in structures that look like sensory receptors and allow ...

OCT scans measure the thickness of nerve fiber layers and often detect signs of damage or structural changes to the optic nerve before vision loss occurs. Gonioscopy uses a handheld lens equipped ...

A new study sheds light on one of the most severe consequences of stroke: damage to the brain's 'cables'-- the so-called nerve fibers -- which leads to permanent impairments.

The brain tries to repair damage after a stroke by utilizing its own repair cells, which function like skilled craftsmen.

Patients underwent two SLT sessions per eye, as well as OCT to measure the thickness of retinal nerve fiber layers before and after treatment and at yearly follow-ups. Patients also received 100 ...

Following an injury, the brain tries to repair the damaged nerve fibers by re-establishing their insulating layer, called myelin. Unfortunately, the repair process often succeeds only partially ...
