| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We established the chronic electrical stimulation system and measuring system of evoked potentials in visual cortex for surprachoroidal transretinal stimulation and artificial vision by direct optic nerve electrical stimulation in rabbits and RCS rats. We could measure the electrical evoked potentials from 1 to 6 months after implantation. Some rats’ brain showed strong staining of GFAP after 6 month after implantation. Our result suggests the effect of optic nerve electrical stimulation on brain.
