Aging affects multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) responses, with neural factors impacting topography after 70 years. Optical factors influence mfERG before 70.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neuroscience
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • The aging retina undergoes structural and functional changes.
  • Multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) assesses retinal function.
  • Understanding age-related mfERG changes is crucial for diagnosing visual impairments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of aging on multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) parameters.
  • To differentiate between optical and neural contributions to age-related mfERG alterations.

Main Methods:

  • mfERG was recorded in young (18-25 years) and elderly (60-85 years) subjects.
  • Participants were grouped into three age cohorts: 18-25, 60-70, and 75-85 years.
  • N1/P1 amplitudes and latencies were analyzed across central, paracentral, and peripheral retinal regions.

Related Experiment Videos

Main Results:

  • No significant age-related differences were found in P1 latency, N1 amplitude, or P1 amplitude.
  • N1 latency increased significantly from central to peripheral regions in the oldest group (75-85 years) compared to the youngest group (18-25 years).

Conclusions:

  • Age-related mfERG changes are primarily attributed to optical factors before 70 years.
  • Neural factors significantly influence mfERG topography in individuals over 70 years.
  • This suggests a shift in the primary drivers of retinal functional decline with advanced age.
