Electrophysiological measures of optic nerve function
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-26)The contribution of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) to human electroretinograms (ERGs) is known, but that of chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is not clear. This project seeks to determine the effect of RGC dysfunction on ... -
Neural modulation of the human visual cortex
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-30)Neuroplasticity is a phenomenon that refers to the brain’s ability to reorganize, strengthen, and form neural connections, a process that becomes increasingly more difficult with age. Gamma amino-butyric acid (GABA), the ... -
Retinal Structure and Function in Typical Children and Young Adults
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-20)Purpose. Children with visual impairment may be referred for ERG and OCT testing to aid in diagnosis and monitoring, particularly those with suspected retinal diseases. To establish if a result is abnormal, knowledge of ... -
Stereocoherence thresholds as a measure of global stereopsis
(University of Waterloo, 2017-06-14)Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a robust and reliable clinical test of stereopsis that is complementary to the conventional disparity threshold tests. Methods: Random dot stereograms containing ... -
Understanding the Mechanisms Underlying Brain Plasticity in Adult Humans
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-22)Purpose: The human brain changes signi cantly with age. The plasticity of the visual cortex is thought to decrease into adulthood while childrens' brains are highly plastic. This change in plasticity is thought to be due, ...
