Abstract

Age-associated changes of visual evoked potentials by flash stimulation (flash VEP) were evaluated in 53 beagle dogs aged from 1- to 15-year-old. Among the components of flash VEP consisted of 3 positive (P1, P2 and P3) and 2 negative (N1 and N2) peaks by 150 msec, the latency of P2 and the later peaks (N2 and P3) were significantly delayed with aging. Both amplitudes of the P2-N2 and N2-P3 also showed a significant correlation with aging. The flash VEP is considered to be an available and useful technique to evaluate not only for visual pathway, but also some disturbance of neurological functions, like as those reported in demented human.<br>
