Abstract

Oscillatory potentials (OPs) of the electroretinogram appear to be generated within the inner nuclear layer of the primate retina¹ and integrated at the level of the Mueller cells², where the b-wave originates. OPs have been shown to be useful in the diagnosis, management, and/or clinical investigation of retinal diseases, including diabetic retinopathy^3,4, hereditary retinal degenerations⁵, and congenital stationary night blindness⁶. Abnormalities of OPs may reflect photoreceptor damage (abnormal signal provided to the inner retinal circuitry), inner retinal damage, or both.
