The dashed traces are the theoretical rod responses that were derived from bright flash responses as described above (section 7.3). Review the interfering factors of the ffERG. PERG studies in MS have shown preferential N95 amplitude reduction with P50 sparing. Fig. Interpretation of the mouse electroretinogram | Semantic Scholar The mouse electroretinogram (ERG) consists of a complex set of signals or "waves" generated by multiple types of retinal cell, and the origins of these waves are reviewed briefly for the C57BL/6J mouse. Each has different applications and benefits. Fig. Electroretinography The full-field ERG assesses retinal function by measuring the electrical potential generated by the photoreceptors and other retinal neurons following stimulation by light.

In some species, the rod system dominates (e.g. Since the steady-state PERG does not allow for direct measurements of individual waveform components,it can be harder to interpret and requires appropriate knowledge and software to evaluate the recordings. There are 6 standard protocols for isolating the electrical activity from the rods and cones. Perlman I, Leibu R, Barth J. 16, right).

Patients with deficient levels of vitamin A, whether from malnutrition, malabsorption, or impaired liver metabolism, experience night blindness secondary to rod dysfunction, and the ffERG shows a depressed dark-adapted response. Contributed by Rustum Karanjia, MD PhD FRCSC. Measurements of the extracellular concentration of potassium ions and of the isolated P-III component of the ERG at different retinal depths reveal the involvement of retinal glial (Mller) cells in the generation of the slow P-III. When very dim light stimuli (below the P-II threshold) are applied in the dark-adapted state, a slow corneal negative potential is recorded from toad (Gouras, 1958), cat (Arden and Brown, 1965; Sieving et al., 1986a), sheep (Knave et al., 1972), monkey (Wakabayashi et al., 1988) and humans (Finkelstein et al., 1968; Sieving and Nino, 1988). Holder GE, Votruba M, Carter AC, Bhattacharya SS, Fitzke FW, Moore AT. The first one involves the rod bipolar cells. The N95-wave is the negative deflection following the P50-wave that originates from the inner retina. In patients, these parameters provide quantitative assessment of retinal function during the progress of retinal diseases and the success of treatment (Arden et al., 1983; Massof et al., 1984). This wave-component is largely a measure of outer retinal function. Troy(3) Lawrence H. Pinto (1)Department of Neurobiology and Physiology and Center for Functional Genomics, Northwestern University, 2205 Tech Drive, Evanston, IL 60208, USA Shiells RA, Falk G. Contribution of rod, on-bipolar, and horizontal cell light responses to the ERG of dogfish retina. 2002;42:10811087. The reversal in polarity of the d-wave reflects its origin in OFF-center bipolar cells. The other components of the ERG; the early receptor potential (ERP), scotopic threshold response (STR) and M-wave are more difficult to isolate in the routine clinical setup and are measured only for research purposes. 15. 1984;357:575607. 1980; Foerster et al. [9][Level 4], Considering a broad differential is essential to distinguish retinal dysfunction from alternative, similar appearing causes since the option of therapy depends on the underlying etiology of the disease process. According to Piper, the first two waves, I and II, were characterized by different latencies and temporal properties so that the interaction between them resulted in the formation of the a- and b-waves. Gotch (1903) was the first to report that the response of the eye to a light flash consisted of two waves; first the cornea became negative and then a positive wave of larger amplitude appeared. Bottom Row. 1985; Doslak, 1988). The electroretinogram (ERG) is an accurate tool or assessing retinal unction. [PubMed], Brown KT, Watanabe K, Murakami M. The early and late receptor potential of monkey cones and rods. [PubMed], Byzov AL. Granits P-II component is generated in the neural retina mainly by ON-center bipolar cells with minor contributions from OFF-center bipolar cells and 3rd order neurons. [2]The PERG assesses both macular and retinal ganglion cell electrical activity and can help differentiate between diseases of macular versus optic nerve dysfunction. Saline solution containing barium chloride was injected into the vitreous of the right eye and saline into the vitreous of the left eye (lower and upper traces respectively). The ERG b-wave has been the subject of extensive research by many groups because it is the major component of the human ERG recording as used in clinical and experimental analysis of retinal function. The origins of these waves are reviewed briefly for the C57BL/6J mouse. [13][14]Notably, reports have also suggested P50 amplitude reduction with increased implicit time secondary to compromised blood flow to the retinal layers. Relationship between Mller cell responses, a local transretinal potential and potassium flux. A theoretical study of the effect of silicone oil on the electroretinogram. Similarly, extracellular currents from all retinal cell types will sum up only if they are directed radially. Kuo HK, Kuo MT, Chen YJ, Wu PC, Chen CH, Chen YH. The potential changes that were recorded from these cells in response to light stimuli were identical in shape and temporal properties to the ERG c-wave (Steinberg et al., 1970). [PubMed], Ogden TE, Ito H. Avian retina. Phototransduction in human cones measured using the a-wave of the ERG. Electroretinogram b-wave implicit time and b/a wave ratio as a function of intensity in central retinal vein occlusion. According to Ohms law in electricity, when an electrical current flows through a resistor, a gradient of electrical potential is formed that equals the product of multiplying the magnitude of the current by that of the resistance. [20] Studies have also provided evidence of retinal dysfunction in early AD. The use of light stimuli of long duration revealed that the ON pathway in both rod system and cone system was affected and only the OFF pathway of the cone system exhibited normal function (see chapter on bipolar cells)(Miyake et al., 1987; Alexander et al., 1992). [PubMed], Cideciyan AV, Jacobson SG. Despite its diagnostic value, the ffERG is not without limitations. PERG is commonly used as a test for disorders affecting ganglion cells, as well as many neurodegenerative disorders[8]. The c-wave itself is a manifestation of the change in the trans-epithelial potential.

The amplitude is the maximal light-induced electrical response (voltage) generated by the various retinal cells. Examples of rod dystrophy include subtypes of congenital stationary night blindness, namely fundus albipunctatus and Oguchi disease. 1D), fast oscillations can also be seen on the ascending limb of the b-wave. Vis Neurosci. However, the ffERG is typically normal for focal retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration and Stargardt's disease. The multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) is a more recent advancement in electroretinographic testing, which enables a rapid assessment of retinal function from many areas at the same time. In figure 9A, bright flash ERG responses from the rabbit are shown in control conditions and after intravitreal injection of bicuculline and strychnine to block respectively GABAA and glycine receptors, and after addition of TTX. [PubMed], Newman EA, Odette LL. Potassium conductance block by barium in amphibian Mller cells. The effects of barium ions on the ERG responses of the rabbit. Vision Res. These a-waves are corrected for cone contributions in figure 29B. Vis Neurosci. In the clinical environment, it is well documented that the ERG can be reduced significantly in patients with giant retinal tears who have undergone vitrectomy surgery and injection of silicon oil into the vitreous. LHON exhibits significant N95 reduction with P50 preservation of the PERG response. When using two electrodes to record light-induced electrical activity of the retina, the largest light-induced potential change will be monitored if the measurement is done between points A and B, which are on the two sides of the cells producing the electrical response. [PubMed] [Free Full text in PMC]. The enhancement of the b-wave reflects the removal of opposing contribution from third order retinal neurons (Dong and Hare, 2000; Awatramani et al., 2001). Patients who are unable to see the fixation point may be advised to look straight ahead while maintaining a steady gaze. Recent more careful ERG recordings reveal that rod-mediated electrical activity can follow flickering frequencies higher than 15HZ, reaching as high as 28Hz (Stockman et al., 1995). Arch Ophthalmol. [PubMed], Perlman I. The major contribution comes from light-induced activity in ON-center bipolar cells. Current source-density analysis shows its source to be the OFF-center bipolar cells (Xu and Karwoski, 1994, 1995). Per the International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision (ISCEV) guidelines: The ffERG measures the light-induced electrical activity of the retina at the corneal surface. I. Amphibian (I-type) retinas. Additional minor components of the ERG. [Level 5]. The components, P-I, P-II and P-III, have been isolated by deepening the state of anesthesia (Granit, 1933), Fig. Neovascularization in central retinal vein occlusion: electroretinographic findings. Faber DS. The ERG results discussed here and in the previous section (4.4) indicate similarities between the STR and the M-wave. The electroretinogram.

The ERG and sites and mechanisms of retinal disease, adaptation, and development. 11b). Bookshelf It was assumed that the origin of potassium increases in the outer plexiform layer was bipolar cells, most specifically ON-center bipolar cells that were depolarized by light (Dick and Miller, 1985). This discussion includes ERG theory, test procedures, and interpretation of results. ERGs recording from the skate. The ffERG is a valuable tool for objectively diagnosing and monitoring retinal disease. Using a contrast-reversing stimulus. Since silicon oil does not conduct electric currents, the resistance of the vitreous increases by several folds causing the current IB to be so reduced that the ERG becomes very small in amplitude (Doslak et al. He showed that light illumination through the pupil, which had previously been covered, caused a slight movement of a galvanometer, suggestive of a positive electrical change in the cornea relative to the back of the eye (Armington, 1974). Artificial tears or other non-irritating ionic conductive solution is used to protect the corneal surface. 22. According to Ohms law, the potential difference between two points is independent of the pathway through which the current is flowing. Extracellular recording of electrical activity of living tissue is rendered possible when electrical currents spread along an extracellular matrix with electrical resistance.

Contribution to the kinetics and amplitude of the electroretinogram b-wave by third-order retinal neurons in the rabbit retina. A classic example of cone dystrophy is achromatopsia. Notably, reports have shown reductions in both N95 and P50 in acute optic neuritis, with the recovery of P50 to normal after remission. Doc Ophthalmol. In addition to the three major waves (a, b and c), other components can be identified in the ERG depending upon the experimental recording conditions. In 1911, Piper published his analysis of the ERG. Furthermore, the amplitude-stimulus intensity relationship was similar for the Mller cell photoresponses and the ERG b-wave. The .gov means its official. Therefore, determining the etiology of retinal disease by layer and by region is a frequent diagnostic challenge, and an interprofessional team approach is critical for providing appropriate patient care. 13.

The data from normal subjects that were recorded in another two laboratories (red and blue symbols) fall well within the normal range of my laboratory. We assume that a light stimulus elicits extracellular electrical currents that flow from sources to sinks. Fig. 1985;25:13651373. [2], The retina is a complex, neurosensory structure, and patients with retinal disease often present with non-specific visual symptoms. There are standard protocols for eliciting the retinal electrical response. Ventura LM, Feuer WJ, Porciatti V. Progressive loss of retinal ganglion cell function is hindered with IOP-lowering treatment in early glaucoma. An electroretinogram is designed to determine how well the light-sensitive retinal tissue is functioning. The b-wave ratios of a patient with high myopia and of a patient suffering from congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) are compared to the normal range. 19. Since barium ions block almost completely the potassium permeability of Mller cells (Newman, 1989; Reichelt and Pannicke, 1993; Linn et al., 1998), the dose used was expected to abolish the ERG b-wave if the Mller cell hypothesis for the b-wave generation was correct. They. Relationships between the electroretinogram a-wave, b-wave and oscillatory potentials and their application to clinical diagnosis. Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. The ffERG often shows absent a- and b-waves with no recordable response. The waves are called a-, b- and c-waves. The trace connecting the baselines of the probe a-waves (dashed trace) is the rod response of the test ERG response (Pepperberg et al., 1997), Alexander KR, Fishman GA, Peachey NS, Marchese AL, Tso MOM. some fresh water turtles, ground squirrel). His dark-adapted a-wave is smaller in amplitude than that of the normal range and when scaled up exhibits considerably slower kinetics. 17. Jafarzadehpour E, Radinmehr F, Pakravan M, Mirzajani A, Yazdani S. Pattern electroretinography in glaucoma suspects and early primary open angle glaucoma. Barium ions that block potassium conductance of the Mller cells, but not light-induced increase in extracellular potassium concentration, also eliminate the STR as shown in figure 13 (Frishman and Steinberg, 1989b). The analysis period or sweep time should be at least 150 ms with a stimulation rate of 4 rps and 250 ms intervals between reversals. Rod-cone dystrophy presents with rod dysfunction in early disease stages followed by cone dysfunction in later disease stages. Johnson MA, Hood DC. beta wave of the scotopic (rod) electroretinogram as a measure of the activity of human on-bipolar cells. 1), in addition to those recorded from other vertebrate species, are characterized by the basic features of a negative a-wave followed by a positive b-wave. In this figure, responses were recorded with a microelectrode in the distal retina and therefore, the polarities of the waves are opposite to that obtained with the active recording in the proximal retina, or vitreous or cornea. Vision Res. Fig. Other traces were recorded after 30min adaptation to white background of intensity denoted on the right (Peachey et al., 1992). Careers. PERGs can be analyzed according to the amplitudes and implicit times of the wave components. Inverted responses can either result from genuine genetic defects such as the mutations . Tomita T. Studies on the intraretinal action potential. Since the b-wave reflects the sum of the negative P-III component and the positive P-II component, its amplitude is measured from the trough of the a-wave to the peak of the b-wave. The data in figures 4 and 6 clearly indicate that the b-wave originates in retinal cells that are post-synaptic to the photoreceptors. [PubMed], Murakami M, Pak WL. Retina specialists and neuro-ophthalmologists are typically responsible for the interpretation of the electrophysiological results. The PERG is a valuable diagnostic tool that can aid providers in determining a correct diagnosis in patients with retinal disease beyond standard clinical examination capabilities. 1988;3:8487. Arden, G. B. J Physiol. However, in most species including human, both systems are found. Contributed by Samuel Asanad, MD, Illustration of a normal the dark adapted ffERG for a low intensity rod response (0.1 ERG) and mesopic response of both rods and cones (3.0 ERG). Washington (DC): National Academy Press; 1990. p. 4158. IAR1 = IB (R2 + R3 + R4 + R5 + R6) (Equation 1). The b-wave ratio is the ratio of the measured b-wave relative to the expected b-wave. This lead to a push-pull model of these cell types (Sieving et al., 1994). Such changes in the distribution of resistances may account for species differences in the magnitude of the ERG responses and for intra-subject differences within a given species. These photoreceptors also vary in spectral characteristics, including signal threshold, peak wavelength sensitivity, and rate of recovery. The two sinks (OPL and IPL) reflect the increase in extracellular potassium ions due to light-induced electrical activity. 4) (Pepperberg et al., 1978). Scotopic threshold response of proximal retina in cat. The a-waves elicited by the probe flashes are arranged according to their inter-flash interval so that all their peaks reach the same level the level where all the dark current is shut off. 1958;46:5972. 1985;99:201206. The slow component of the P-III cannot be identified in a regular ERG response due to the large amplitude positive P-I wave. 29. Patients with seizure disorderscan safely undergothe PERG as the stimulus frequency is outside of the range, responsible for inducing most epileptic seizures.

These wavelets are much faster than the complex of the a- and b-waves. Substances listed as Type 2 are used in the production of some components used in LKC products and may be present at trace levels, but are typically destroyed during processing. In fact, any procedure that blocks synaptic transmission from the photoreceptors, like superfusion with cobalt ions or with high magnesium low calcium solutions, will eliminate the ERG b-wave (Furakawa and Hanawa, 1955; Sillman et al., 1969a; Pepperberg and Masland, 1978). This wave-component reflects outer retinal function. 2010 Feb;248(2):185-9. doi: 10.1007/s00417-009-1205-4. The electroretinogram (ERG) is a diagnostic test that measures the electrical activity of the retina in response to a light stimulus. 1968;8:633677. . [3] Analysis of the PERG waveform components can provide useful diagnostic information for distinguishing various anterior visual pathway diseases, especially when the etiology of vision dysfunction remains uncertain following standard clinical examination. 1985b;25:709715. The b-wave is the positive deflection following the a-wave that originates from the depolarization of inner retinal Muller and bipolar cells. Furthermore, the temporal properties of P-II are of value to the clinician. These scores also were compared with the four individual ERG parameters using ROC analysis. Assessing abnormal rod photoreceptor activity with the a-wave of the electroretinogram: applications and methods. The last component, P-III, which was the most resistant to the level of anesthesia, is a cornea-negative wave that develops faster than the other two and remains as a negative potential for as long as the light stimulus is on. Since the ERG P-III component can be reconstructed from bright flash ERG responses using the phototransduction model (eq. The trace marked P is the effect of the probe flash alone. The patient with high myopia is characterized by subnormal ERG responses due to the reduced function of the photoreceptors. Implicit time is from the stimulus onset to the peak of the corresponding wave-component and reflects the rate at which an electrical signal is conducted. Diagnose and follow optic nerve and retinal diseases, Monitor retinal disease from toxic drug exposure, Evaluation of the construct of intraocular foreign bodies, Evaluation of retinal vascular occlusions and associated ischemic damage. The data points from these laboratories fall within our normal range indicating normal retinal function. 5A) indicates that the temporal properties of the KRG match closely with those of the ERG c-wave. The ERG parameters that are customarily measured in the ophthalmic clinic for electrodiagnosis. Br J Ophthalmol. However, the amplitude of the a-wave also depends upon the development of the positive Granits P-II component. 1989 Sep;96(9):1343-52. doi: 10.1016/s0161-6420(89)32742-4.

The b-wave is also affected by OFF-center bipolar cells and by light-induced activity in 3rd order retinal neurons (amacrine and ganglion cells). This site needs JavaScript to work properly. In humans, ERP recording have been done only occasionally in order to estimate rhodopsin density in patients suffering from retinitis pigmentosa, a photoreceptors disease (Berson and Goldstein, 1970a, 1970b). [PubMed], Peachey NS, Alexander KR, Derlacki DJ, Fishman GA. Light adaptation, rods, and the human cone flicker ERG. As in the case of the full-field ERG, the ganglion cells contribute relatively little to the response, which originates largely from the outer retina. OPs are very sensitive to ischemia in localized retinal areas. [PubMed], Linn DM, Solessio E, Perlman I, Lasater EM. In Pattern ERG (PERG), the light stimulus is an alternating checkerboard pattern which evokes electrical responses from the ganglion cells composing the inner retina. Both systems operate independently with very little interactions between them. Progress in retinal research. The ERG arises from currents generated directly by retinal neurons in combination with contributions from retinal glia. [PubMed], Awatramani G, Wang J, Slaughter MM.

The first indication of this was reported by Noell (1954). The currents IA and IB will be smaller and the ERG will be smaller too thus, indicating retinal pathology, However, we have to remember that the magnitude of the different resistances and more so, the relationships between them can also affect the ERG that is measured with extra-ocular electrodes. Electroretinography has an impressive range of human and animal applications, for both clinical and research uses. 1972;12:16691684. Moss HE, Park JC, McAnany JJ. Vis Neurosci. The most effective are potassium ions (Miller, 1973). From his analysis, we know that the negative a-wave is the leading edge of the negative P-III component; the positive b-wave reflects the summation of P-II and P-III while the slow c-wave is the summation of P-I and P-III. 27. Home Applications Electroretinography (ERG) Explained. Science. II. The summed electrical response is a blend of the results from a range of different cells and regions in the retina, meaning that full-field ERG (ffERG) shows the status of the retina as a whole. [1] PERG is the retinal response to a pattern-reversing, black-and-white checkerboard or stripped stimulus. In this equation, P3, the amplitude of Granits P-III component, is a function of flash energy i and time of measurement t after light onset. 1967;17:235244. Nurses triage the patient as the first point of contact based on symptom severity and onset. The a-wave is the initial negative deflection corresponding to the early hyperpolarization of the rod and cone photoreceptors. Ophthalmology. Indeed intracellular recording from Mller cells in the Necturus retina supported Fabers ideas (Miller and Dowling, 1970).

The mean width and height of the stimulus field should be 15 degrees ( 3). In contrast to LHON, DOA is classically diagnosed during the first decade of life with a slowly progressive and symmetric loss of vision. Vision Res. The Photopic Negative Response: An Objective Measure of Retinal Ganglion Cell Function in Patients With Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy. It was proposed to represent changes in membrane potential of Mller cells due to light-induced increases in the extracellular potassium in the proximal retina (Karwoski and Proenza, 1977, 1980). There are 3 main types of ERGs: full-field flash ERG (ffERG), pattern ERG (PERG), and multifocal ERG (mfERG). The ERG waveform is represented on this chart with the X axis representing time of response (implicit time) in milliseconds. A more simple approach is to record the ERG to bright white flash and compare the patient ERG to the normal range. For long time intervals, the a-wave of the probe flash will be large and constant, since the rods have recovered from the effects of the test flash, and the probe flash induces an a-wave of saturating amplitude. Berninger TA, Heider W. Pattern electroretinograms in optic neuritis during the acute stage and after remission. S is a sensitivity parameter, RmP3 is the maximum amplitude of P-III and td is a delay. 4, lower trace). [PubMed], Ogden TE. Surv Ophthalmol.1981;25:237252. Visual evoked cortical potentials and pattern electroretinograms in Parkinson's disease and control subjects. Figure 6 shows ERG responses from dark-adapted rabbits that were recorded 3 hours after intravitreal injection of L-glutamate or 2-amino-phosphonobutyric acid (APB) into one eye and saline into the fellow control eye (A and B respectively). Contributed by Rustum Karanjia, MD PhD FRCSC, Illustration of a normal photopic negative response ERG recording. The electrical signal then transfers from the bipolar cells to the retinal ganglion which is represented as the Photopic Negative Response or PhNR. Vis Neurosci. The exact source of the ERG b-wave is still under dispute. Variability in recordings between different device types. This analysis is based upon our understanding of retinal physiology and the origin of the ERG waves. Although the c-wave originates from the pigment epithelium, it depends upon the integrity of the photoreceptors, because light absorption in the photoreceptors triggers the chain of events leading to the decrease in extracellular concentration of potassium ions.
