Disorders of the brain are among the most challenging to treat in all of medicine. Among the challenges is access: the brain is locked away in the skull, preventing medicines from reaching their destination. To deal with this difficulty, researchers are turning to an unexpected access point to the brain: the eye. In today's episode of Beyond the Abstract, Derek and Dan discuss new papers that demonstrate neural and immune links between the eye and the brain that could soon help doctors treat diseases ranging from Alzheimer's to cancer.
