| Description |
Cerebral hypoperfusion in the normal-appearing white matter of MS patients are reported, indicating the role of vascular dysfunction in MS pathophysiology. The retina has been used to study the pathophysiology of MS. Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thinning is established as an ocular biomarker of neurodegeneration. The goal of this project is to determine the relationship between the birefringence of RNFL (microtubule integrity), retinal blood flow velocity and clinical MS manifestation. |
