The electroretinogram (ERG) represents the biopotential that is produced by the retina in response to a light stimulus. To date, it remains the best diagnostic tool to objectively evaluate the functional integrity of the normal or diseased retina. In the following pages we briefly review the necessary requirements in order to record and analyze the conventional clinical ERG.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010775 Photic Stimulation Investigative technique commonly used during ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY in which a series of bright light flashes or visual patterns are used to elicit brain activity. Stimulation, Photic,Visual Stimulation,Photic Stimulations,Stimulation, Visual,Stimulations, Photic,Stimulations, Visual,Visual Stimulations
D012160 Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Ora Serrata
D004596 Electroretinography Recording of electric potentials in the retina after stimulation by light. Electroretinographies
