Electroretinography | Vibepedia

Electroretinography is a diagnostic technique that measures the electrical responses of various cell types in the retina, providing valuable insights into retinal function and health. Developed by [[karl-ferdinand-eberhard|Karl Ferdinand Eberhard]] and [[ludwig-von-sallmann|Ludwig von Sallmann]], electroretinography has become a crucial tool in ophthalmology, allowing clinicians to diagnose and monitor retinal diseases such as [[retinitis-pigmentosa|retinitis pigmentosa]] and [[age-related-macular-degeneration|age-related macular degeneration]]. By analyzing the electrical signals generated by the retina in response to standardized stimuli, electroretinography helps researchers and clinicians understand the complex interactions between different cell types in the retina, including [[photoreceptors|photoreceptors]] (rods and cones), [[inner-retinal-cells|inner retinal cells]] (bipolar and amacrine cells), and [[ganglion-cells|ganglion cells]].
