L- and M-cone driven on- and off- ERG responses and their interactions were examined using full field stimuli with sawtooth temporal profiles. The effects of temporal frequency and contrast were studied. ERG recordings were obtained from 21 trichromatic, 1 protanopic, and 1 deuteranopic subjects. ERGs to L-cone increments and decrements resembled those to M-cone decrements and increments, respectively (i.e., of the opposite polarity). Temporal frequency and contrast had little effect on the implicit times. All response components varied linearly with contrast. When stimulated simultaneously, the responsivities of most components were larger for counterphase than for inphase modulation. The retinal processing leading to an ERG response is reversed for L- and M-cone driven responses.

Age-related sleep and circadian rhythm disturbances may be due to altered nonvisual photoreception. Here, we investigated the temporal dynamics of light-induced melatonin suppression in young and older individuals. In a within-subject design study, young and older participants were exposed for 60 min (0030-0130 at night) to nine narrow-band lights (range: 420-620 nm).

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare L-, M-, S-cone-, and rod-driven temporal contrast sensitivities (tCS) in patients with RP1L1-associated autosomal-dominant occult macular dystrophy (OMD), and to investigate how photoreceptor degeneration determines which post-receptoral channels dominate perception.
Methods: Photoreceptor isolating stimuli were created with the silent substitution technique. Photoreceptor-selective tCS deviations (D L-cone/M-cone/S-cone/Rod) were obtained as a function of temporal frequency with identical retinal adaptation, by subtracting tCS from age-corrected normal values.

Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) integrate melanopsin and rod/cone-mediated inputs to signal to the brain. Whilst originally identified as a cell type specialised for encoding ambient illumination, several lines of evidence indicate a strong association between colour discrimination and ipRGC-driven responses. Thus, cone-mediated colour opponent responses have been widely found across ipRGC target regions in the mouse brain and influence a key ipRGC-dependent function, circadian photoentrainment.

Electroretinograms (ERGs) are mass potentials with a retinal origin that can be measured non-invasively. They can provide information about the physiology of the retina. Often, ERGs are measured to flashes that are highly unnatural stimuli.

Purpose: To compare the electroretinographical (ERG) responses elicited by L- and M-cone isolating ON- and OFF-sawtooth stimuli in normal subjects and glaucoma patients.
Methods: Twenty-one normal subjects and 44 primary open-angle glaucoma patients participated in the study. L- and M-cone isolating (18% cone contrast; 284 cd/m2) rapid ON- and rapid OFF-sawtooth (4 Hz) stimuli with two stimulus sizes (full-field (FF) and central 70° diameter) were generated using the triple silent substitution technique.
