Subsequent and simultaneous electrophysiological investigation of the retina and the visual cortex in neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases: what are the forecasts for the medicine of tomorrow?

Visual electrophysiological deficits have been reported in neurodegenerative disorders as well as in mental disorders. Such alterations have been mentioned in both the retina and the cortex, notably affecting the photoreceptors, retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and the primary visual cortex. Interestin...

description Visual electrophysiological deficits have been reported in neurodegenerative disorders as well as in mental disorders. Such alterations have been mentioned in both the retina and the cortex, notably affecting the photoreceptors, retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and the primary visual cortex. Interestingly, such impairments emphasize the functional role of the visual system. For this purpose, the present study reviews the existing literature with the aim of identifying key alterations in electroretinograms (ERGs) and visual evoked potentials electroencephalograms (VEP-EEGs) of subjects with neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. We focused on psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases due to similarities in their neuropathophysiological mechanisms. Our research focuses on decoupled and coupled ERG/VEP-EEG results obtained with black-and-white checkerboards or low-level visual stimuli. A decoupled approach means recording first the ERG, then the VEP-EEG in the same subject with the same visual stimuli. The second method means recording both ERG and VEP-EEG simultaneously in the same participant with the same visual stimuli. Both coupled and decoupled results were found, indicating deficits mainly in the N95 ERG wave and the P100 VEP-EEG wave in Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and major depressive disorder. Such results reinforce the link between the retina and the visual cortex for the diagnosis of psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases. With that in mind, medical devices using coupled ERG/VEP-EEG measurements are being developed in order to further investigate the relationship between the retina and the visual cortex. These new techniques outline future challenges in mental health and the use of machine learning for the diagnosis of mental disorders, which would be a crucial step toward precision psychiatry.
