Join us February 18, 2012 at the Oquendo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada for an exciting course focused on animal ophthalmic
and neuroscience research. This event is recommended for MD, PhD, DVM vision researchers who have interest in electroretinography,
and want to expand their knowledge on the application and interpretation of ERG in animal research.
This electrophysiology of vision course will focus on retina function and visual pathway science and interpretation. There
will be a morning lecture session followed by a round robin wet lab session in the afternoon. The hands-on, in-vivo ERG examination
wet lab will cover rodent, canine, and equine subjects. Attendees will observe and have the opportunity to experience hands-on
learning with all three species in a state of the art teaching facility.
Course Fee: $950
Includes:
- One day 10 Hour and Wet Lab Course
- Now Included Two Nights Accommodations, February 17 & 18, at the
Green
Valley Ranch Resort, a Four Star Hotel
- Ground Transportation to/from Airport, GVR and Oquendo Center
- Continental Breakfast, Lunch, and Refreshments throughout the day of training
Topics covered:
- Anatomy & Physiology
- Whats in an ERG waveform?
- Understanding Cellular Response to Light
Interpretation
-
Flash, Pattern, and Multifocal ERGs
-
Benefits and Limitations
Troubleshooting and Getting Good Results Managing the Patient

About the Speakers:
Dr. Gill McLellan has spent her career working in advancing comparative ophthalmology & visual
sciences, and now is focusing on comparative glaucomatology including imaging of the retina and optic nerve, electrophysiology,
aqueous humor dynamics, genetics and pathology of glaucoma in animals and humans. Dr. McLellan also has a strong research
interest in comparative ophthalmic pathology, diseases of the retina and optic nerve in dogs, and the ocular & systemic effects
of vitamin E deficiency in dogs. She will share her knowledge of electrophysiology in research, including applications of
flash, pattern, and multifocal ERG to better understand retina and visual pathway function.
Dr. Ron Ofri concentrates his research on the physiology of vision, focusing on retinal electrophysiology
and changes in visual function resulting from glaucoma and other diseases. Ron is a very popular speaker, having been invited
to speak in more than 15 countries. He has lectured at national and world congresses for general practitioners, as well as
advanced courses for veterinary ophthalmologists. Ron expanded his research interests to include comparative visual physiology
in wildlife species, and to date has published more than 50 referred papers.
