The relationship of visual evoked potentials to cortical physiology.
نویسنده
چکیده
The last 15 years have seen a rapid expansion in studies on human visual evoked potentials (VEP), both a t the fundamental and at the clinical level. A wide variety of stimulus conditions have been explored,’ new types of mathematical tools have been i n t r o d ~ c e d , ~ . ~ and there has been an increasing appreciation of possible VEP correlates with underlying physiological mechanisms! Variability of the folding and size of the human striate cortex’ as well as the remote location of human scalp electrodes, however, limits the accurate localization of human VEP components to particular cortical structures. In this regard it would seem desirable to explore the VEP of a laboratory animal closely related to the human. In this paper I discuss two approaches that may prove both useful and complementary in deciphering visual evoked potentials in monkey, and by extrapolation, in man. The first approach involves the use of fine stimulus control, noting the degree to which the VEP amplitude varies with small changes in stimulus characteristics. The second approach, still in the preliminary stages, involves the use of current source density analysis, a method to localize the generating processes of the VEP to specific cortical laminae and sublaminae.

Effects of visual deprivation on epileptic activity in mature rat visual cortex
Effects of visual deprivation on the induction of epileptiform activity were studied in layer II/III of mature rat primary visual cortex. Field potentials were evoked by stimulation of layer IV in slices from control and dark-reared (OR) rats. Picrotoxin (PTX)-induced epileptic activity was characterized by spontaneous and evoked epileptic field potentials (EFPs). The results showed that OR s...

Introduction: (S)- 3,5-Dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) is an agonist for group I metabotropic glutamate receptors. DHPG-induced synaptic depression of excitatory synapses on hippocampal pyramidal neurons is well known model for synaptic plasticity studies. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of DHPG superfusion on excitatory synapses on pyramidal and fast-spiking GABAergic cel...

The effectiveness of θ pattern primed-bursts (PBs) on development of primed-burst (PB) potentiation was investigated in layer II/III of the adult rat visual cortex in vitro. Experiments were carried out in the visual cortical slices. Population excitatory post-synaptic potentials (pEPSPs) were evoked in layer II/III by stimulation of either white mater or layer IV. To induce long-term potenti...

Introduction: Visual evoked potentials contain certain diagnostic information which have proved to be of importance in the visual systems functional integrity. Due to substantial decrease of amplitude in extra macular stimulation in commonly used pattern VEPs, differentiating normal and abnormal signals can prove to be quite an obstacle. Due to developments of use of machine l...
