Newest first, then by address. Each study has a usefulness score out of 100 (rubric version 4.0); tap a score to see what makes it up. Tags were assigned automatically from each study's title and summary. The same studies as a filter in the library.

  1. Structural and functional impairment of the retina and optic nerve in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Current Alzheimer research 2012-09-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Our study showed that in patients with AD, even without visual failure there was a decrease in macular and RNFL thickness, as well as a decrease of the electrical activity of the macula.

  2. Synergistic action of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and lens injury promotes retinal ganglion cell survival, but leads to optic nerve dystrophy in vivo

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2006-01-17 Brain scans and imaging

    Trauma or disease in the CNS often leads to neuronal death and consequent loss of functional connections.

  3. Optic nerve head and nerve fiber layer in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Archives of ophthalmology (Chicago, Ill. : 1960) 1991-02-01 Brain scans and imaging

    We compared (1) the differences in the retinal nerve fiber layer between 26 patients with Alzheimer's disease and 30 age- and race-matched normal controls with use of blue-light high-resolution photography, (2) the differences in disc pallor between 30 patients with Alzheimer's disease and 32 controls with use of a boundary-tracking program and fundus photographs, and (3) the topographic disc variables between 26 patients with Alzheimer's disease and 36 controls with use of an optic nerve head analyzer.
