Flexible Electrode Array for Retinal Stimulation
In this Work, ITO/PET (Indium Tin Oxide / Polyethylene Terephthalate) electrode structure which provides biocompatibility, mechanical stability and flexibility is fabricated. Flexible ITO/PET implantable electrode array for a retina has been developed. The electrode array is fabricated on a thin PET/ITO substrate and is encapsulated using, SU-8, an insulating material. PET substrate and SU-8 po...
متن کاملIntermittent Stimulation by Light
1. In the retina, central areas whose diameter is less than 2 degrees possess only cones, while larger areas have rods and cones. In conformity with this, the relation of critical fusion frequency to intensity is a single function for centrally fixated areas below 2 degrees , and a double function for similarly fixated, larger areas. The two sections of such data are easily identified with rod ...
متن کاملInner retinal mechanisms engaged by retinal electrical stimulation.
PURPOSE Retinal prosthetic devices are being developed to bypass degenerated retinal photoreceptors by directly activating retinal neurons with electrical stimulation. However, little is known about retinal activity during such stimulation. METHODS Whole cell patch-clamp recordings were obtained from ganglion and bipolar cells in the salamander retinal slice preparation. A stimulating electro...
متن کاملMultirecording of Ca2+ signals from inner retinal neurons evoked by light stimulation of photoreceptors
We simultaneously monitored changes of intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) following different light stimuli from different inner retinal neurons of the turtle retina slice preparation. [Ca(2+)](i) increased with an increase of the light stimulus intensity. Some of the cells also showed color opponent Ca(2+) signals. 2-Amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid (APB) blocked in particular ...
متن کاملRetinal damage by light in rats.
The retina of laboratory rats is affected irreversibly by intense light applied for less than 1 hour or for up to 2 days depending upon experimental conditions. Exposure of unanesthetized and unrestrained animals was in chambers surrounded by a green filter and circular fluorescent lamps of a nominal brightness of 2,040 footlamberts. Eyes of anesthetized animals were exposed diffusely to either...
