2012, Progress in Retinal and Eye ResearchCitation Excerpt :Such methods may be objective, such as electroretinograms (ERG) on chickens (Machida, 1994) and rats (Noell et al., 1966; Sugawara et al., 2000), or subjective (e.g. blinded reading of fundus photos). Psychophysical tests have included a measure of critical flicker-fusion frequency in the light damaged albino rat (Williams et al., 1985), and acuity measures in monkey (Merigan et al., 1981). Damaged retina can also be identified by means of histological section; for example, (Ham et al., 1978).
Short-term (2 to 5 h) dark exposure lowers long-term potentiation (LTP) induction threshold in rat primary visual cortex
2009, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :The protocol of RLS used here consisted of light flashes (10 ms duration) that were presented at a frequency of 50 Hz, a frequency slightly above the critical flicker threshold (i.e., the highest frequency of flickering light that is distinguishable from a continuous light) in rats. Using behavioral measures, Williams et al. (1985) showed that Sprague Dawley albino rats are able to discriminate continuous, fused light (130 Hz) from flicker up to a maximal frequency of 39 Hz, even though some residual flicker detection appeared to be present at frequencies between 40 and 50 Hz (see Fig. 1 in Williams et al., 1985). Physiological measures have shown that flicker thresholds vary among different cell populations in V1, with simple, complex, and hypercomplex cells exhibiting average thresholds of 15, 25, and 29 Hz, respectively, with maximal thresholds reaching 35 Hz (Wells et al., 2001).
