Evaluation of Retinal Ganglion Cell via Visual Evoked Potential

Methods Mol Biol. 2023:2708:141-146. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-3409-7_15.

Abstract

Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) is an electrical signal recorded from the visual cortex in response to light stimulation. It can be used as an in vivo method to objectively access the functional integrity of the retinogeniculocortical pathway. Here we describe the methods to perform flash VEP (FVEP) recording in rodents and goat and pattern VEP (PVEP) recording in rhesus macaque.

Keywords: In vivo test; Large animals; Optic nerve; Retinal ganglion cell; Rodents; Visual evoked potential.
