Summary
Visually evoked potential (VEP) testing aids in diagnosing optic nerve and visual pathway lesions. This electrophysiological method assesses visual acuity and fields in infants and adults, with future developments promising further clinical utility.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Ophthalmology
- Clinical Electrophysiology
Background:
- The visually evoked potential (VEP) is an electrophysiological measure reflecting the brain's response to visual stimuli.
- Understanding VEPs is crucial for diagnosing visual pathway disorders.
