  • Title: Effect of stimulus contrast on simultaneous steady-state pattern reversal electroretinogram and visual evoked response.
    Author: Tetsuka S, Katsumi O, Mehta M, Tetsuka H, Hirose T.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Res; 1992; 24(2):110-8. PubMed ID: 1608596.
    Abstract:
    We studied the effect of stimulus pattern contrast on the simultaneously recorded pattern reversal electroretinogram (PERG) and pattern reversal visual evoked response (PVER) at 5 check sizes. The stimulus contrast ranged from 24 to 95% in 6 steps of 0.1- or 0.15-log unit increments. PERG amplitude showed a linear increase with an increase in pattern contrast at all check sizes. PVER amplitude showed an increase up to a certain pattern contrast, but was saturated upon further increase in stimulus contrast at all check sizes. The PERG amplitude-check size function curve showed a flattened, inverted-U shape only with the highest contrast and low-pass filter shape or flat shape with lower contrasts. The PVER amplitude-check size function curve showed an inverted-U shape (bandpass filter shape) at all contrasts. These characteristics to the changes in contrast and the spatial frequency tuning suggest that PVER is processed in a different location of visual pathway than PERG.
