Electrical brain stimulation induces dendritic stripping but improves survival of silent neurons after optic nerve damage

Abstract Repetitive transorbital alternating current stimulation (rtACS) improves vision in patients with chronic visual impairments and an acute treatment increased survival of retinal neurons after optic nerve crush (ONC) in rodent models of visual system injury. However, despite this protection n...
