Analysis of Structural and Molecular Events Associated with Adult Rat Optic Chiasm and Nerves Demyelination and Remyelination; Possible Role for 3rd Ventricle Proliferating Cells

Multiple sclerosis frequently affects the optic apparatus, particularly optic chiasm and nerves. Here, we have reported the structural and molecular characteristics of remyelination in the adult rat optic chiasm and nerves. Moreover, considering the proximity of optic chiasm and 3rd ventricle, we…
