Abstract

Recent advances in the study of evoked responses settled a definition of transient and steady-state visual evoked responses (VER) and discovered the existence of Temporal Frequency Regions in humans. This paper reports data from visual responses evoked by low and high frequency stimuli. White flashes were performed in albino Sprague Dawley rats from 7 to 90 days of age. Frequency analysis technique offered the possibility to evaluate the amplitude parameters and their variations dependent on intensity of luminance and on development. The responses suggested the existence of two temporal frequency regions in the rat: a first one at about 8 Hz, related to high frequencies of EEG, a second one at frequencies ranging from 12 to 24 Hz, related to luminance sensitivity. The development of the second region is correspondent to the complete development of transient VER parameters.
