Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

Spatial and temporal variabilities of L- and M-cone photoreceptor driven ERGs reflecting the activity of retinogeniculate (parvo- and magnocellular-based) and ON/OFF subpathways were established for the human retina using triple silent substitution stimuli. We found that L-cone driven responses were consistently larger than M-cone driven responses across the retina, with full-field L-cone stimulation producing the largest signals. Another key finding was that ERGs reflecting the activity of the two postreceptoral and ON/OFF mechanisms of the L- and M-cone pathways showed distinct spatial arrangements. M-cone driven responses to sawtooth stimuli had the opposite polarity compared to L-cone driven responses particularly for spatially restricted stimuli. The responses measured with sine-wave stimuli at high temporal frequencies, which reflect luminance sensitive magnocellular inputs, strongly depended upon spatial stimulus configuration. In contrast, those measured at low-to-intermediate temporal frequencies, which reflect cone-opponent parvocellular inputs, remained relatively more constant, with L- and M-cone driven responses being more similar in amplitude and approximately in counter-phase.
