| non-injured + LI-rTMS | Retina | - | 1.34±0.008 |
| Optic Nerve | - | 2.80±0.33 | |
| optic nerve crush + sham | Retina | 237.2±60.33 | 1.37±.088 |
| Optic Nerve | - | 2.97±0.34 | |
| optic nerve crush + LI-rTMS | Retina | 335.4±60.74 | 1.53±0.12 |
| Optic Nerve | - | 2.72±0.29 |
Mean (±SEM) RGC survival and BDNF concentrations following sham or LI-rTMS.
NOTE: RGC survival was quantified following 14 days of stimulation and BDNF was quantified following 7 days of stimulation (*).
