We present a simplified method for zebrafish electroretinograms (ERGs), overcoming barriers to studying visual function in ocular disease models. This technique yields high-quality ERG data across developmental stages, aiding research accessibility.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neuroscience
  • Zebrafish models

Background:

  • Electroretinogram (ERG) is crucial for visual function studies in zebrafish ocular disease models.
  • Complexity and cost hinder ERG adoption in new zebrafish labs.
  • A gap exists in accessible ERG methodologies for zebrafish research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce a simplified and effective method for obtaining zebrafish ERGs.
  • Reduce barriers for laboratories investigating zebrafish ocular development and disease.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized in-house assembled recording electrodes and a custom 3D-printed platform.
  • Acquired high-quality ERG data from larval, juvenile, and adult zebrafish.
  • Performed testing under scotopic and photopic conditions to assess rod and cone function.

Main Results:

  • Obtained robust ERG waveforms across all developmental timepoints.
  • Observed increased signal amplitude with developmental progression, indicating retinal maturation.
  • Successfully isolated oscillatory potentials from the ERG waveforms.

Conclusions:

  • The simplified zebrafish ERG approach yields comparable waveforms to existing methods.
  • This methodology reduces barriers for zebrafish laboratories studying ocular conditions.
  • Facilitates research into zebrafish ocular development and disease through accessible ERG.
