Optical intrinsic signal mapping of rod- and cone-mediated visual cortex responses in mice
We used optical imaging of intrinsic signals to study visual cortex responses in three mouse strains: wild-type (C57BL/6J), a strain with only rod function (cpfl1), and a strain with only cone function (rho(-/-)). A stationary flicker light stimulus with intensity ranging from 10(8.6) to 10(15.5) photons/cm2/s was used. We found that the intrinsic signal patterns exhibited stimulus intensity-de...
متن کاملContrast response in visual cortex: quantitative assessment with intrinsic optical signal imaging and neural firing.
While previous studies showed that intrinsic optical signals spatially correspond with electrophysiological responses in mammalian visual cortex, the quantitative correspondence of their response strengths is open to question. Measurement of both signals' strength as functions of visual stimulus contrast provides an opportunity for quantitative comparison. Towards that end, the spatial and temp...
متن کاملRod- and cone-driven responses in mice expressing human L-cone pigment.
The mouse is commonly used for studying retinal processing, primarily because it is amenable to genetic manipulation. To accurately study photoreceptor driven signals in the healthy and diseased retina, it is of great importance to isolate the responses of single photoreceptor types. This is not easily achieved in mice because of the strong overlap of rod and M-cone absorption spectra (i.e., ma...

متن کاملVisual acuity changes in cone and cone-rod dystrophies.
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to evaluate longitudinal visual acuity (VA) changes in cone (CD) and cone-rod dystrophies (CRD) in order to develop recommendations for follow-up strategies and to define an optimal time for potential therapeutic intervention. METHODS Patients with clinically defined CD and CRD, who had at least three clinical examinations within a follow-up period of a mi...
