Changes in oscillatory potentials in the canine electroretinogram during dark adaptation
1990
Sims, M.H. | Brooks, D.E.
Oscillatory potentials (OP) and electroretinograms (ERG) were recorded from clinically normal dogs after 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 minutes of dark adaptation. At the end of the adaptation period, OP were characterized by 5 distinct positive peaks, O1 through O5, with mean latencies of 14.46, 20.24, 27.38, 35.31, and 44.85 ms, respectively, and with mean amplitudes ranging from 7.20 to 34.84 microvolt. After 60 minutes of dark adaptation, the ERG had a mean a-wave latency of 12.03 ms and a mean b-wave amplitude of 109.29 microvolt. Peaks O3 and O4, which partially mask the summit of the b-wave, had mean latencies of 28.66 and 36.83 ms, respectively. The mean amplitude of the b-wave measured to the peak of O3 was 240.06 microvolt and 230.73 microvolt when measured to peak O4. Changes in the OP during dark adaptation consisted of significant (P less than 0.05) increases in the latencies of O1, O2, and O3, and significant increases in the amplitudes of O1, O3, O4, and O5. Concurrent ERG changes consisted of significant increases in the amplitudes of the a-wave and b-wave measured from O3 and O4, and significant increases in the latencies of peaks O3 and O4 on the b-wave.
