With the multifocal technique, as developed by Erich Sutter and colleagues, scores of focal
electroretinogram (ERG) responses can be obtained in a matter of minutes. Although this …

Absorption of light by rhodopsin or cone pigments in photoreceptors triggers
photoisomerization of their universal chromophore, 11-cis-retinal, to all-trans-retinal. This …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the research that has characterized the G-
protein cascade of transduction in vertebrate photoreceptors, with particular emphasis on …

Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) processes endow epithelial cells with enhanced
migratory/invasive properties and are therefore likely to contribute to tumor invasion and …

The most sensitive response in the dark‐adapted electroretinogram (ERG), the scotopic
threshold response (STR) which originates from the proximal retina, has been identified in …

Under twenty-first-century metropolitan conditions, almost all of our vision is mediated by
cones and the photopic system, yet cones make up barely 5% of our retinal photoreceptors …

Complex alterations in the anatomy of outer retinal pathways accompany photoreceptor
degeneration in the rd1 mouse model of retinitis pigmentosa, whereas inner retinal neurons …

The purpose of this study was to determine what contributions are made to the rat full‐field
electroretinogram (ERG) by ganglion cells (GCs). To that end, the ERG was assessed …

X-linked retinoschisis is a leading cause of macular degeneration in male children. It is
characterized by a high degree of clinical variability. Clinical features include a stellate …

Deleterious mutations in RS1 encoding retinoschisin are associated with X-linked juvenile
retinoschisis (RS), a common form of macular degeneration in males. The disorder is …
