Functional Testing
Checking signals
In Dalhousie’s Experimental Glaucoma and Imaging Lab, we track cell changes using imaging techniques, while also measuring optical function changes using electrodiagnostic techniques. These techniques allow us to extract signals originating from different retinal origins, including retinal ganglion cells.
Dr. Francois Tremblay’s team also records from in situ preparations, which makes it possible to classify the functional properties of individual retinal ganglion cells using multielectrode array electrophysiology.
