Abstract

Achromatopsia (ACHM) is an inherited autosomal recessive disease lacking cone photoreceptors functions. In this study, we characterize the time-frequency representation of the full-field electroretinogram (ffERG) component oscillatory potentials (OPs), to investigate the connections between photoreceptors and the inner retinal network using ACHM as a model. Time-frequency characterization of OPs was extracted from 52 controls and 41 achromat individuals. The stimulation via ffERG was delivered under dark-adaptation (DA, 3.0 and 10.0 cd·s·m) to assess mixed rod-cone responses. The ffERG signal was subsequently analyzed using a continuous complex Morlet transform. Time-frequency maps of both DA conditions show the characterization of OPs, disclosing in both groups two distinct time-frequency windows (~70-100 Hz and >100 Hz) within 50 ms. Our main result indicates a significant cluster ( < 0.05) in both conditions of reduced relative power (dB) in ACHM people compared to controls, mainly at the time-frequency window >100 Hz. These results suggest that the strongly reduced but not absent activity of OPs above 100 Hz is mostly driven by cones and only in small part by rods. Thus, the lack of cone modulation of OPs gives important insights into interactions between photoreceptors and the inner retinal network and can be used as a biomarker for monitoring cone connection to the inner retina.

摘要

全视野视网膜电图(ffERG)中视锥细胞功能缺失的先天性常染色体隐性疾病——无色素性视锥细胞营养不良(ACHM)患者的视锥细胞功能缺失。在本研究中,我们使用 ACHM 作为模型来研究视锥细胞与视网膜内层网络之间的联系,对全视野视网膜电图(ffERG)中光感受器震荡电位(OPs)的时频表示进行了特征描述。从 52 名对照组和 41 名 Ach 个体中提取了 OPs 的时频特征。通过 ffERG 刺激在暗适应(DA,3.0 和 10.0 cd·s·m)下进行,以评估混合视杆-视锥反应。随后使用连续复 Morlet 变换对 ffERG 信号进行分析。两种 DA 条件下的时频图都显示了 OPs 的特征,在两组中都在 50 ms 内揭示了两个不同的时频窗口(~70-100 Hz 和>100 Hz)。我们的主要结果表明,与对照组相比,ACHM 患者的相对功率(dB)在两种条件下均显著减少( < 0.05),主要在>100 Hz 的时频窗口。这些结果表明,高于 100 Hz 的 OPs 活动虽然强烈减少但并未完全缺失,主要是由视锥细胞驱动的,只有一小部分是由视杆细胞驱动的。因此,OPs 中视锥细胞调制的缺失对视锥细胞与视网膜内层网络之间的相互作用提供了重要的见解,并可作为监测视锥细胞与视网膜内层连接的生物标志物。
