Abstract
Commentary: Anatomical constitution of sense organs as a marker of mental disorders.
Highlights
Research in neuroscience and psychiatry is limited by the difficulty to accurately access brain functioning
They outlined retinal functional and anatomical deficits detected in schizophrenia using respectively flash electroretinogram and optical coherence tomography (OCT)
Since it is more integrated there than at the photoreceptor and bipolar cell level we suggest that its measurement might be a useful complementary test to approach the neural function in schizophrenia
Summary
Research in neuroscience and psychiatry is limited by the difficulty to accurately access brain functioning. They outlined retinal functional and anatomical deficits detected in schizophrenia using respectively flash electroretinogram (fERG) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). We would like to suggest that the pattern electroretinogram (PERG), a retinal functional recording, might provide a relevant complementary measurement to enhance understanding of biological mechanisms underlying brain disorders in schizophrenia.
