    Ionic mechanism and propagation of action potentials. The action potential is the result of a large‚ sudden increase in sodium permeability of the membrane. The resulting rush of sodium ions into the membrane and accumulation of positive charge on its inner surface drives the potential towards Ena. This is followed by repolarisation‚ whereby there is a large increase in the membranes permeability to potassium ions‚ hence the membrane returns to Ek. Explanation of the (ionic) mechanisms underlying

    Polarization of the neuron’s membrane: cell membrane is surrounded by neurons as other cell has a membrane. If a nerve cell is not stimulated‚ the membrane is known to be polarized. For a neuron to be polarized‚ it is by maintaining excess of sodium ions on the outside of the cell and excess potassium ions on the inner part of the cell. A volume of sodium ions and potassium ions usually leaks through its channel but the sodium ions and potassium ions pumps on the membrane that restores the (k+) back

    Recent advances in technology permit measurement of characteristics of the nerve fibres that make up the optic nerve. One of these is SD-OCT(Fig2)‚ a non contact‚ non-invasive method that enables physicians to obtain in vivo‚ high resolution (upto 5 microns) cross-sectional images of the retina. It is based on principle of low-coherence interferometry(Fig 3). By imaging a 3D cube of data it allows a detailed evaluation of the peripapillary area.
