This authoritative text is the only comprehensive reference available on                  electrophysiologic vision testing, offering both practical information on techniques                  and problems as well as basic physiology and anatomy, theoretical concepts, and                  clinical correlations. The second edition, of the widely used text, offers extensive                  new material and updated information: 65 of the 84 chapters are completely new, with                  the changes reflecting recent advances in the field. The book will continue to be an                  essential resource for practitioners and scholars from a range of disciplines within                  vision science.The contributions not only cover new information--important material                  that is likely to become more important in the next decade--but also offer a                  long-range perspective on the field and its remarkable development in the last                  century. After discussing the history and background of clinical electrophysiology,                  the book introduces the anatomy of the retina and principles of cell biology in the                  visual pathways at the molecular, physiological, and biochemical levels. It relates                  these new findings to the techniques and interpretations of clinical tests,                  including the electro-oculogram (EOG), electroretinogram (ERG), and visual evoked                  potentials (VEP), which are discussed in detail, as are equipment, data acquisition                  and analysis, principles and protocols for clinical testing, diseases and                  dysfunction, and animal testing. Notable additions for this edition include chapters                  on the origin of electroretinogram waveforms, multifocal techniques, testing in                  standard laboratory animals, recent advances in analysis of abnormalities in                  disease, and the applications of these techniques to the study of genetic                  abnormalities.
