What is the Role of Ganglion Cell Axons in Disease?
Damage to ganglion cell axons can result in various neurological disorders. For instance, in glaucoma, increased intraocular pressure can lead to the degeneration of retinal ganglion cell axons, resulting in vision loss. Similarly, peripheral neuropathies involve damage to the axons in the PNS, leading to sensory and motor deficits.
