Abstract
ERG responses for both BN rats and 13-LGS reflect the relative proportions of cone photoreceptors present within the retinae, indicating that the cone-dominant 13-LGS may be a potentially useful model for studying human central retinal function and disease. That retinal remodeling and restoration of electrophysiological function occurs rapidly on emergence from hibernation implies the 13-LGS may also be a useful tool for studying aspects of retinal physiology and recovery from injury.
