Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ji Won Bang"
Ji Won Bang's research focuses primarily on understanding the neurobiological implications of glaucoma, investigating how changes in brain microstructures and metabolism contribute to visual field loss patterns and other neurodegenerative effects related to the disease.!
The studies utilize advanced imaging techniques, such as diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), to explore the relationship between metabolic factors, brain activity, and the structural integrity of the visual system in glaucoma patients.!
Additionally, Bang's recent work examines plasticity in the brain associated with age and visual impairments, highlighting the involvement of specific neural pathways and neurochemical systems, such as GABA and glutamate, in visual processing and cognitive functions among affected individuals.!
