Altered Amplitude of Low-Frequency Fluctuation in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma: A Resting-State fMRI Study [Glaucoma]

Conclusions.
Primary open-angle glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease involving multiple brain regions, including the visual cortices, DMN, limbic system, and motor and sensory networks. Moreover, the alterations in some of these networks are correlated with the progression of POAG; for the abnormal spontaneous neural activities in the left cuneus, bilateral MTG and right prefrontal cortex are correlated with glaucoma severity.
