"Subarachnoid Space In The Optic Nerve" by Rossinelli Diego, Kantonsspital Aarau

Entry in category 1. Object of study; Copyright CC-BY-NC-ND: Rossinelli Diego

 

The subarachnoid space of the optic nerve features trabeculae that bridges the meningeal layers. The function of such structures remains poorly understood and is thought to play a central role in the physiology and pathophysiology of the eye. Synchrotron-radiation micro-computed tomography at PSI, together with the most accurate computational schemes running on the supercomputer at EPFL, hold the promise of shedding light on the mystery concealed by this tract of the white matter.
