A fundamental principle of vertebrate visual system relies on the functional separation of neuronal signaling into the ON and OFF pathways that generate visual contrast. These two pathways originate in depolarizing ON bipolar cells and hyperpolarizing OFF bipolar cells.
Critical fusion frequency (CFF) is one of the useful ways to evaluate visual resolution based on functional separation of ON and OFF pathways. The flicker electroretinogram and visual evoked potential has been studied, however, the CFF threshold in the behaving mouse has not been studied.
C57BL/6 mice responded to two stimuli by making nose poke toward a green (508nm) light emitting diode (LED) screen that was equipped with a touchscreen attachment for detecting responses. Mice were trained to distinguish stationary illumination (correct response) from flickering illumination (incorrect response). We continued to the task until mice could discriminate between correct and incorrect choice. Once mice recognized correct stimuli, we changed temporal frequency until mice could not discriminate flickering stimulation as stationary stimulation, which defined as CFF.
We established the method to evaluate temporal properties of mice of ON and OFF pathway-mediated vision. This behavioral assay of mouse model could contribute to development of diagnosis of human retinal disease.
