Neurons in eyes are affected too
just read this in email - i have retinal problems - described like plastic wrap with a wrinkle in it - that's how the doctor described my left eye. going to opthamologist. i've been putting this appt off for so long i can't even say it out loud. this could be why my vision is deteriorating in my left eye.
Linda H. sent the whole article if you are interested.
this could be important to many of us.

Neurological Diseases Major Discovery
09 May 2009
Researchers at the Université de Montreal (UdeM) and the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI), McGill University have discovered that cells which normally support nerve cell (neuron) survival also play an active and major role in the death of neurons in the eye. The findings, published this week in The Journal of Neuroscience, may lead to more streamlined therapies for a variety of acute and chronic neurological disorders, including glaucoma and retinal artery occlusion.
