Rod pathway and cone pathway retinal dysfunction in the 5xFAD mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease
Abstract To characterize rod- and cone-pathway function in the 5xFAD mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) using the full-field electroretinogram (ERG). Dark-adapted (DA; rod-pathway) and light-adapted (LA; cone-pathway) ERGs were recorded from three-month-old 5xFAD and wild type (WT) mice. ERGs w...

Dark-adapted (DA; rod-pathway) and light-adapted (LA; cone-pathway) ERGs were recorded from three-month-old 5xFAD and wild type (WT) mice.
