There is overall shrinkage of the LGN and a decrease in immunoreactivity in parvocellular layers 4 and 6 in the glaucomatous LGN compared with the control. The bar indicates 0.5 mm.
Error bars indicate SDs.
Bottom, The number of parvalbumin-immunoreactive neurons in the left LGN magnocellular layer 1 for the 4 glaucomatous monkeys with varying percentage of optic nerve fiber loss. The horizontal dotted line indicates the mean number of neurons minus 2 SDs for control monkeys. Error bars indicate SDs.
