How to identify neurogenesis in adult human retina? Is there any good non-invasive method? This is an ethical, technical and tricky question which may give rise to important concepts. What techniques should be used to achieve this goal.
It's a contentious question if consider it in human for which there is almost no evidence. In animal models there are certain reports, especially in Zebrafish. Just a lab have published a preprint about it. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/06/08/057893
How could OCT be used to identify neurogenesis? I understand OCT images retina in a non-invasive manner. It traces neurodegeneration in terms of the nerve fiber layer thickness. May be it can be utilized to identify neurorestoration. But how exactly would you use OCT for neurogenesis evaluation?
I would love to know in detail.
