Retinal ganglion cell activity from the multifocal electroretinogram in pig: optic nerve section, anaesthesia and intravitreal tetrodotoxin.
Non-invasive recordings of the retinal activity have an important role to play in the diagnosis of retinal pathologies. The detection of diseases that involve retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), such as optic atrophy and glaucoma, may be improved by isolating the RGC contribution from the multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG). In this study, mfERGs were performed on 20 pigs, 1-6 weeks following unila...
متن کاملProtection of Pattern Electroretinogram and Retinal Ganglion Cells by Oncostatin M after Optic Nerve Injury
Injury to retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons leads to selective loss of RGCs and vision. Previous studies have shown that exogenous neurotrophic factors promote RGC survival. We investigated the neuroprotective effects of oncostatin M (OSM), a member of the IL-6 family of cytokines, on pattern electroretinogram (PERG) and RGC survival after optic nerve crush (ON-crush) in the mouse. BALB/C mice ...
متن کاملEffect of NGF on the survival of rat retinal ganglion cells following optic nerve section.
The ability of NGF (2.5S subunit) to support the survival of adult rat retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and optic nerve fibers after intracranial section of the optic nerve was investigated. NGF was injected intraocularly at a dose of 3 micrograms/injection every 2.3 d from the day of axotomy to analysis. Control animals received cytochrome c injections. The survival of RGCs was analyzed in whole-...
متن کاملSchwann cells promote the survival of rat retinal ganglion cells after optic nerve section.
Schwann cells (SCs) are known to play an important role for the regeneration of mammalian peripheral nerves. Their effect is likely due to the production of neuronotrophic and/or supportive factors. Here we study the effect of intraocular transplant of SCs on the survival of rat retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) after the intracranial section of the optic nerve. SCs were injected intraocularly in a...
متن کاملOptic nerve head component responses of the multifocal electroretinogram in MS.
OBJECTIVE To employ a novel stimulation paradigm in order to elicit multifocal electroretinography (mfERG)-induced optic nerve head component (ONHC) responses, believed to be contingent upon the transformation in electrical transmission properties of retinal ganglion cell axons from membrane to saltatory conduction mechanisms, as they traverse the lamina cribrosa and obtain oligodendrocyte myel...
