The visual evoked potential (VEP) in the mouse is characterized and compared to
responses obtained with the electroretinogram (ERG). The results indicate that: 1, the VEP
originates in the visual cortex; 2, the rod and cone pathways contribute separately to the
VEP; 3, temporal tuning functions for rod and cone ERGs are low pass and band pass,
respectively; VEP tuning functions are both band pass; and 4, VEP acuity is 0.62±0.156
cycles/degree. The differences in the spatial and temporal tuning functions obtained from the …

The differences in the spatial and temporal tuning functions obtained from the retina and visual cortex provides a tool to investigate signal processing through the visual system.
