Electroretinography is the technique that allows the evaluation of changes in electrical potential that occur when the eye is stimulated by light. Such changes reflect the response of several retinal cells including photoreceptors (cones and rods). Thus it evaluates the retinal functionality
RESUMO
Eletrorretinografia é a técnica que possibilita observar mudanças no potencial elétrico, que ocorrem quando o olho é estimulado pela luz. Tais mudanças refletem a resposta de várias células retinianas, incluindo os fotorreceptores (cones e bastonetes). Com ela, portanto, é possível avaliar a funcionalidade da retina e diagnosticar alterações, mesmo em retinas normais à oftalmoscopia. Em face do crescente desenvolvimento da oftalmologia
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
