BACKGROUND The mechanisms underlying the interictal habituation deficit of cortical visual evoked potentials (VEP) in migraine are not well understood. Abnormal long-term functional plasticity of the visual cortex may play a role and it can be assessed experimentally by light deprivation (LD). METHODS We have compared the effects of LD on VEP in migraine patients without aura between attacks ...

Studies of visual acuity in human infants between 1 and 6 months of age using the visual-evoked potential (VEP) and forced-choice preferential looking (FPL) have shown that acuity is one to two octaves higher by VEP estimates than by FPL estimates. In an attempt to study these differences, the authors obtained both VEP and FPL data from 26 3-month-old infants. VEP data were obtained with gratin...

The visual evoked potential (VEP) recording is widely used in clinical practice to assess the severity of optic neuritis in its acute phase, and to monitor the disease course in the follow-up period. Changes in the VEP parameters closely correlate with pathological damage in the optic nerve. This protocol provides a detailed description about the rodent model of optic nerve microinjection, in w...

The visual evoked potential (VEP) to pattern reversal was recorded in 79 patients with neurosyphilis. Sixteen patients (20%) had abnormal VEP latencies with a predominance of pathological VEP values in the group of tabes dorsalis (50%) as compared to general paresis (18%) or meningovascular forms (13%). A comparison of the frequency of abnormal VEPs with that of other ophthalmological tests (vi...

Background: Cirrhosis is a dynamic process starts after sustained inflammation, followed by necrosis of liver cells and fibrosis that occur as normal wound healing response then nodular formation eventually lead to hepatic dysfunction. Aim objectives: Study the effect cirrhosis on cerebral cortex subcortical pathways using VEP, Comparison between different VEP check sizes in detection early enc...

Abstract Recently, a novel workflow known as the virtual epileptic patient (VEP) has been proposed by research team from Aix Marseille Université in their papers published Lancet Neurology , Science Translational Medicine and Epilepsia . This method involves creating an individualized brain model based on computational modelling, which can facilitate clinical decision-making estimating epilepto...

PURPOSE Studies of the visual evoked potentials (VEP) in migraine have yielded contradictory results. Several investigators suggested that VEP may be helpful test in diagnosis of a child with headache. The aim of our study was to compare interictal pattern-reversal visual evoked potentials (PR-VEP) in children and adolescents with migraine and tension-type headaches and to evaluate VEP paramete...

OBJECTIVES During surgeries that put the visual pathway at risk of injury, continuous monitoring of the visual function is desirable. However, the intraoperative monitoring of the visual evoked potential (VEP) is not yet widely used. We evaluate here the clinical utility of intraoperative VEP monitoring. METHODS We analyzed retrospectively 46 consecutive surgeries in 2011-2013. High luminance...

BACKGROUND To compare the usefulness of the traditional pattern-reversal Visual Evoked Potentials (VEP) with multifocal VEP (mfVEP) and Frequency-Doubling Technology (FDT) perimetry in the evaluation of the ocular abnormalities induced by acute or subacute optic neuritis (ON). MATERIALS AND METHODS The test results of 24 ON patients were compared with those obtained in 40 normal control subje...
