FRR was significantly reduced in NTGs compared to age-matched controls without any significant differences within the age groups themselves. Given the physiological importance of CSF for the integrity of neurons, axons and glial cells, reduced CSF flow dynamics might be part of the underlying neurodegenerative process of NTG.
