vertical pathway in neurotransduction
photoreceptors --> bipolar --> ganglion
1 of 8
horizontal pathway in neurotransduction
mediated by glutamate. fro contrast, horizontal --> amacrine. Mainly inhibitory GABA
2 of 8
optoneuropathy
phototransduction. No proper joining between ganglion cells and optic nerve i.e glucoma, MS
3 of 8
retinal dystrophy
No photoreceptor transduction. AMD, retinitis pigmentosa (20s late teens)
4 of 8
retinitis pigmentosa
rod degeneration (mutations in rhodopsin gene) night blindness, inherited, x-linked. Deafness also associated due to photoreceptors being similar structure and similar genes to cillia cells
5 of 8
Treatment wet AMD
Anti VEGF factor --> causes vasoconstriction in the choroid and decreases vascular leak
6 of 8
Treatment of dry AMD
complement factor D inhibitor (prevents drusen deposits through oxidation) i.e lampalizamub
7 of 8
Types of retinal implants
subretinal space and epiretinal space (ganglion cells)
8 of 8
