Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Mice with a targeted disruption of Brn3b (knockout Brn3b(-/-)) undergo the loss of a majority of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) before birth. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) allows for the noninvasive examination of Brn3b(-/-) cellular loss in vivo. METHODS: The central retinas of Brn3b(-/-) and phenotypically wild-type (Brn3b(+/+) and Brn3b(±)) mice were imaged by SD-OCT. The...
