Abstract Changes in the full-field flash and flicker electroretinogram (ERG) that accompany normal aging were evaluated in mice. ERGs were recorded from a single cohort of C57BL/6J mice from 5 to 70 weeks of age using conventional techniques. Dark-adapted ERGs were recorded for flash luminances of − 3.0 to 1.5 log cd-s-m−2; a- and b-wave amplitude and implicit time (IT) were calculated from these responses. In addition, light-adapted flicker ERGs elicited by sinusoidally modulated light were measured for temporal frequencies of 2 to 31 Hz. Amplitudes and phases were extracted from the flicker responses using Fourier analysis. Linear quantile mixed models were used for statistical comparisons of the effects of age on amplitude and timing. There was a significant decrease in a-wave amplitude (p 0.06). These results indicate that age scales the single flash and flicker ERG similarly, reducing response amplitude by a factor of approximately 2, from 5 to 70 weeks, with small or no effect on response timing. These data may be useful for guiding future longitudinal pre-clinical therapeutic studies. |
