Abstract:
We tried measurement of visual acuity in laboratory beagle using pattern stimulus visual evoked potential (P-VEP). We recorded P-VEP in 6 beagles which were corrected refractive power. The stimulus pattern size was 1.22 mm. The testing distance were 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 m. The visual angles and spatial frequency were calculated from stimulus pattern size and distance. In all subjects, P-VEP was clearly recorded in all testing distance, and this result means that the eye could recognized grid pattern on the stimulus monitor. When stimulus monitor was set up 2.0 m, spatial frequency was 14.29 cpd. From our results, it was founded that the visual acuity in laboratory beagle which was corrected refractive power was 14.29 cpd and more.

Action Potential: Phases of Stimulation
Resting Phase:
In this phase, the cell's membrane is at its resting potential, typically around -70 millivolts (mV) for neurons. Inside the cell, there is a higher concentration of potassium ions (K+) and a lower concentration of sodium ions (Na+). Voltage-gated sodium channels are closed, and...
