The Afferent Visual Pathway: Designing a Structural-Functional Paradigm of Multiple Sclerosis

Figure 3

The topographic arrangement of the retinal nerve fiber layer indicating the optic nerve and macula. Nasal RNFL fibers radiate into the optic disc like the spokes of a wheel, whereas the large temporal fibers sweep superiorly and inferiorly around the central area of the retina from the periphery. Small densely packed fibers radiate directly to the mid-temporal optic disc edge from the fovea, making up the papillomacular bundle (image provided by Dr. Kathleen Digre).
