Enriched environment provides neuroprotection against experimental glaucoma [PDF]

Journal of Neurochemistry, 2019
AbstractGlaucoma is one of the most frequent causes of visual impairment worldwide, and involves selective damage to retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons. We analyzed the effect of enriched environment (EE) housing on the optic nerve, and retinal alterations in an induced model of ocular hypertension.
