We are aware of his many creative contributions to the field of glaucoma and neurodegeneration. We fully agree that impaired cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics may play a crucial role in normal-tension glaucoma as well as in the pathophysiology of other neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer ́s and Parkinson ́s disease. Elevated Lipocalin-type prostaglandin D-synthase (L-PGDS) levels in the lumbar CSF in our cohort of normal-tension glaucoma patients compared to the concentration measured in healthy controls in other studies might indeed indicate generalized dysfunctional CSF dynamics in patients with normal-tension glaucoma. CSF and its content are distributed between the extracranial and the intercranial CSF spaces, eg, subarachnoid spaces, cisterns and ventricles. In order for CSF to perform its multiple functions, it also needs to be distributed within the parenchyma of the brain and the optic nerve itself. It therefore would be of great interest to know more about the concentration of proteins, such as L-PGDS, alpha synuclein and abetalipoprotein not only in the CSF surrounding the brain, but in the brain parenchyma (interstitial fluid) as well. The mechanism by which it is transported within parenchyma is still shrouded in mystery and should be subject of future studies.","PeriodicalId":51844,"journal":{"name":"Eye and Brain","volume":"13 ","pages":"157-158"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/f2/ce/eb-13-157.PMC8164671.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39055353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although ophthalmic complaints are not presently considered a classic symptom of ALS, retinal changes such as thinning, axonal degeneration and inclusion bodies have been found in many patients. Retinal abnormalities observed in postmortem human tissues and animal models are similar to spinal cord changes in ALS. These findings are not dramatically unexpected because retina shares an ontogenetic relationship with the brain, and many genes are associated both with neurodegeneration and retinal diseases. Experimental studies have demonstrated that ALS affects many \"vulnerable points\" of the retina. Aggregate deposition, impaired nuclear protein import, endoplasmic reticulum stress, glutamate excitotoxicity, vascular regression, and mitochondrial dysfunction are factors suspected as being the main cause of motor neuron damage in ALS. Herein, we show that all of these pathways can affect retinal cells in the same way as motor neurons.
