Gender significantly impacts visual evoked potentials (VEP) more than age. Female participants exhibited distinct P100 component characteristics compared to males, highlighting sex-based differences in visual processing.

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Ophthalmology
Human Physiology

Background:

Visual evoked potentials (VEP) are crucial for assessing visual pathway function.
The P100 component reflects early visual processing.
Understanding factors influencing VEP, like age and gender, is vital for clinical interpretation.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the influence of age and gender on pattern-reversal visual evoked potentials (P-VEP).
To determine the relative importance of age versus gender on the P100 component of VEPs.

Main Methods:

Studied 123 healthy volunteers aged 20-77 years.
Recorded pattern-reversal visual evoked potentials (P-VEP).
Analyzed the latency and amplitude of the P100 component.

Main Results:

Females showed shorter mean P100 latency and higher mean amplitude than males.
An age-dependent increase in P100 latency was observed in females, but not in males.
Gender emerged as a more significant factor than age in P100 latency.

Conclusions:

Gender plays a more critical role than age in modulating P100 latency.
Sex-specific differences in visual processing exist.
These findings have implications for interpreting VEPs in clinical and research settings.
