Visual electrophysiology was performed at the ages of 1.5, 4, 7 and 10 months (electroretinography, ERG) and at 1.5 and 7 months (visual evoked potentials, VEP).<h4>Results</h4>ERG measurements showed that: 1) The amplitudes of both scotopic and photopic b-waves were markedly larger in Long-Evans rats than in Wistar rats, and also the amplitudes of scotopic oscillatory potentials and photopic 30 Hz Flicker amplitudes, 2) scotopic a-wave amplitudes were larger in Wistar rats at low light intensities, whereas they were smaller in bright light, 3) both a-wave and b-wave latencies were shorter in Wistar rats, 4) the maximum response Rm(P3) was larger in Long-Evans rats, 5) the sensitivity parameter S was larger in Wistar rats, and 6) the post-receptoral response of cones was smaller in Wistar rats. In the VEP measurements, amplitudes of both photopic and scotopic visual evoked potentials of Long-Evans rats were only slightly larger than those of Wistar rats.<h4>Conclusions</h4>ERG b-wave amplitudes are markedly decreased in Wistar rats, which requires further investigation. As the b/a and OP/a ratios were also decreased in Wistar rats, it can be suggested that post-receptoral processing, in particular, is impaired in albino animals.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":3.9512437185814275,"endowment":3.9512437185814275,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"18654793","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2045297987","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":1.2997,"citation_percentile":0.78685406,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2012,"count":3},{"year":2013,"count":4},{"year":2014,"count":2},{"year":2015,"count":3},{"year":2016,"count":1},{"year":2017,"count":3},{"year":2018,"count":3},{"year":2019,"count":2},{"year":2020,"count":3},{"year":2021,"count":2},{"year":2022,"count":2},{"year":2023,"count":2},{"year":2024,"count":7},{"year":2025,"count":3},{"year":2026,"count":1}],"oa_status":"closed","license":"http://www.springer.com/tdm","oa_locations":[{"url":"http://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00417-008-0895-3.pdf","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00417-008-0895-3/fulltext.html","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"http://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00417-008-0895-3","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00417-008-0895-3","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18654793","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Retinal Development and Disorders","Visual perception and processing mechanisms","Neural dynamics and brain function"],"mesh_terms":["Adaptation, Ocular","Animals","Dark Adaptation","Electroretinography","Evoked Potentials, Visual","Oscillometry","Photic Stimulation","Reaction Time","Vision, Ocular","Rats, Wistar","Retinal Cone Photoreceptor Cells","Rats, Long-Evans","Rats"],"keywords":["Electroretinography","Visual evoked potentials","Neuroscience","Ophthalmology","Medicine","Retina","Biology"],"sdg_mappings":[],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-05T21:55:12.253369Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
