Selective vulnerability of excitatory neurons in Alzheimer’s disease(AD):AD is the most common form of dementia;however,the pathogenesis of AD is largely *** of the characteristic features of AD is the formation of intracellular neurofibrillary tangles(NFTs).NFTs are abnormal accumulates of misfolded tau protein,which may eventually cause neuronal death and neurodegeneration(Jack et al.,2018).In the early stages of AD progression,not all neurons are equally vulnerable to tau *** studies have shown that large pyramidal neurons in the entorhinal cortex(EC)are specifically vulnerable to pathological tau accumulation(Fu et al.,2017).This selective vulnerability of excitatory neurons to tau pathology is one of the fundamental questions needed to be answered in AD research.

Retinal ganglion cells(RGCs)receive synaptic inputs through their dendritic trees in the inner plexiform layer(IPL)and convey the visual information via their axons which form the optic nerve to the brain(Sanes and Masland,2015).In glaucoma,RGCs and their axons degenerate and die,leading to irreversible vision loss and eventually blindness if left untreated(Quigley,2016).
