Visual evoked response alterations and especially P100 latency were studied in 60 patents with amblyopia caused by strabismus. Patients were divided in two groups according to the mode of fixation of the strabismic eye. Group A included patients with eccentric fixation, and group B, patients with central fixation of the strabismic eye. In all cases visual evoked responses were recorded before and after a 6-month period during which the patients had full-time occlusion of the sound eye. In cases with eccentric fixation of the strabismic eye, P100 latency was more abnormal than in cases with central fixation. In cases where latencies are clearly abnormal before treatment, the prognosis is poor and the results after occlusion of the sound eye are unstable. In contrast, in the cases with normal or nearly normal visual evoked response latencies, the prognosis is better, and these eyes show satisfactory improvement of visual acuity.

Local field potential phase modulates the evoked response to electrical stimulation in visual cortex.

Development of cortical visual prostheses requires optimization of evoked responses to electrical stimulation to reduce charge requirements and improve safety, efficiency, and efficacy. One promising approach is timing stimulation to the local field potential (LFP), where action potentials have been found to occur preferentially at specific phases. To assess the relationship between electrical stimulation and the phase of the LFP, we recorded action potentials from primary (V1) and secondary (V2) visual cortex in marmosets while delivering single-pulse electrical microstimulation at different phases of the local field potential.

It is well established that faces evoke a distinct neural response in the adult and infant brain. Past research has focused on how the infant face-sensitive ERP components (N290, P400, Nc) reflect different aspects of face processing, however there is still a lack of understanding of how these components reflect face familiarity and how they change over time. Further, there are only a few studies on whether these neural responses correlate with other aspects of development, such as infant temperament.

Background: Cortical excitability is elevated in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Transcranial magnetic stimulation-evoked responses on electromyography (EMG) and electroencephalography (EEG) have captured this increased excitability in motor brain regions. However, it is not yet known if increased excitability is also present in the parietal lobe or the extent to which excitability is related to cognition.

Neuromodulators have major influences on the regulation of neural circuit activity across the nervous system. Nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to be a prominent neuromodulator in many circuits and has been extensively studied in the retina. Here, it has been associated with the regulation of light adaptation, gain control, and gap junctional coupling, but its effect on the retinal output, specifically on the different types of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), is still poorly understood.
