Revealing biomarkers within small visual electrophysiology signals to advance neuroscience
While not new, visual electrophysiology for visual neuroscience is a growing field supported by improved instruments, open-source analytical tools, and a new set of variability data to support future preclinical longitudinal studies. This article highlights three papers published in 2025 that showcase this progress. Research on the retina is relevant to neuroscience Neuroscience research based on the retina is growing for several compelling reasons. These were extensively reviewed in…

Toward diagnosing Parkinson’s disease using visual electrophysiology
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease mainly seen in elderly individuals that causes neurons in parts of the brain to weaken, become damaged, and die. Neurodegenerative disease biomarkers are an active area of research, some of which focus on visual function. Visual electrophysiology has already demonstrated its capabilities to differentiate between several neurodegenerative diseases…

Visual electrophysiology shows biomarkers for neurodegenerative disease
With age, aspects of human biology and daily life compound, at times driving towards neurodegenerative disease that can cause memory loss, confusion, trouble walking, and personality changes. The current standard of care for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s involves symptom management, slowing disease progression, and implementing supportive therapies. Patients with neurodegenerative diseases often…

Visual electrophysiology supports clinical trials of remyelinating drugs for multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease where the body’s immune system impairs myelin, the protective sheath that covers nerve fibers running through the central nervous system. Damaged myelin affects communication between the brain and the rest of the body. As a result, MS can lead to irreversible disability, including difficulty walking. According to Atlas of…
