Course description
With the advent of new therapies for blinding diseases involving the retina and optic nerve, there is an increasing need for functional outcome measurements that can be made in animal models and human clinical trials. The electroretinogram and visual evoked potential are translatable techniques that fit this purpose. This course will discuss the use of the electrophysiologic techniques in the understanding of retinal dystrophies, acquired retinal diseases, glaucoma and optic nerve diseases. It will include discussions about cellular origins, animal models and clinical research applications.
Attendees will leave the course with a better understanding of how to use electrophysiological techniques in their research to characterize the effects of disease and therapeutic intervention on the visual pathways. The content of this course is suitable for basic and clinician scientists who are new to the use of electrophysiological techniques.
