Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The visual evoked potential (VEPs) are the bioelectric signals generated in the striate and extrastriate cortex when the retina is stimulated with light which can be recorded from the scalp electrodes. Methodologies of VEPs study have been developed over the years towards increasing the sensitivity of stimulation and recordings, including interpretation of recording components parameters. VEPs are most useful for testing optic nerve function and less useful for assessing postchiasmatic disorders. The role of VEPs utility in conformation of multiple sclerosis symptoms is unquestionable. This Special Issue is devoted to aspects of VEP recordings offering perspectives for further research in normal and pathological conditions both in basic and clinical studies.

Different patterns of photo stimuli and types of electrodes as well sites over the skull are extensively tested to increase the sensitivity and specificity of Visual Evoked Potentials recordings in diagnostic studies.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Purpose: This is an observational, non-invasive study which measures the VEPs of twelve individuals, at baseline, and under the effect of six monochromatic filters used in visual therapy, to understand their effect on neural activity to propose successful treatments. Methods: Monochromatic filters were chosen to represent the visible light spectrum, going from red to violet color, 440.5–731 nm, and light transmittance from 19 to 89.17%. Two of the participants presented accommodative esotropia. The impact of each filter, differences, and similarities among them, were analyzed using non-parametric statistics. Results: There was an increase on the N75 and P100 latency of both eyes and a decrease was on the VEP amplitude. The neurasthenic (violet), omega (blue), and mu (green) filter had the biggest effects on the neural activity. Changes may primarily be attributable to transmittance (%) for blue-violet colors, wavelength (nm) for yellow-red colors, and a combination of both for the green color. No significant VEPs differences were seen in accommodative strabismic patients, which reflects the good integrity and functionality of their visual pathway. Conclusions: Monochromatic filters, influenced the axonal activation and the number of fibers that get connected after stimulating the visual pathway, as well as the time needed for the stimulus to reach the visual cortex and thalamus. Consequently, modulations to the neural activity could be due to the visual and non-visual pathway. Considering the different types of strabismus and amblyopia, and their cortical-visual adaptations, the effect of these wavelengths should be explored in other categories of visual dysfunctions, to understand the neurophysiology underlying the changes on neural activity.

Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to determine the predictive value of visual evoked potentials (VEPs) in patients with relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) in achieving no evidence of disease activity-3 (NEDA-3) during up to 10 years of first-line immunomodulatory therapy and to [...] Read more.
Background: The aim of this study was to determine the predictive value of visual evoked potentials (VEPs) in patients with relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) in achieving no evidence of disease activity-3 (NEDA-3) during up to 10 years of first-line immunomodulatory therapy and to determine whether the lateralization of optic nerve damage may have prognostic significance concerning clinical disability and response to therapy.Methods: In a retrospective study, a total of 83 patients (53 female and 30 male) with RRMS participated. The average age of patients was 38.31 ± 9.01. Patients were followed for 2, 5 or 10 years. VEPs were measured at the beginning of the follow-up and after many years of monitoring. Data on optical neuritis (ON) were obtained from medical history. The degree of disability was estimated by the neurologist (independent rater), and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the endocranium was performed with gadolinium contrasts. Achieving NEDA-3 is considered a favorable outcome of treatments.Results: Among those treated, 19 (22.9%) reached NEDA-3, while 64 (77.1%) did not reach NEDA-3. The values of the evoked potential (EP) score for the left eye (r = 0.008, odds ratio (OR) = 0.344 (0.156–0.757)) and latency for the left eye (r = 0.042, OR = 0.966 (0.934–0.999)) at the onset of disease were predictive factors for achieving NEDA-3. Conclusions: A normal VEP at the beginning of RRMS increases the chance of reaching NEDA-3 by about six times. Full article
