Thresholds for Activation of Rabbit Retinal Ganglion Cells with Relatively Large, Extracellular Microelectrodes
Abstract
PURPOSE: To investigate the responses of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) to electrical stimulation, using electrodes comparable in size to those used in human studies investigating the feasibility of an electronic retinal prosthesis. METHODS: Rabbit retinas were stimulated in vitro with current pulses applied to the inner surface with 125- and 500-mum diameter electrodes while the responses of RGCs were recorded extracellularly. RESULTS: Both short-latency (SL; 3-5 ms) and long-latency (LL; >/=9 ms) responses were observed after electrical stimulation within the receptive field of an RGC. With short, 0.1-ms current pulses, the threshold current for the SL cell response was significantly lower than that for the LL cell response. With long (10- to 20-ms) pulses, the threshold currents for the SL and LL cell responses were very similar. The threshold current for the SL cell response increased more steeply than did the LL cell response when the electrode was displaced from the point of lowest electrical threshold, either above or along the surface of the retina. Stimulation of an RGC axon outside of the cell's receptive field produced only an SL response. For 0.1-ms duration pulses, the threshold current for the axonal response was significantly higher than the threshold current for the SL cell response. At pulse durations > 1 ms, the thresholds were very similar. CONCLUSIONS: RGC responses to electrical stimulation depend on the current pulse duration and location of the stimulating electrode. For an epiretinal prosthesis, short-duration current pulses may be preferable since they result in a more localized activation of the retina.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
