In-vivo imaging of the light-evoked responses of retinal cells in rodents can provide valuable insights into the correlation between optoretinography (ORG) signals and retinal degeneration. However, interpreting outer retina dynamics in rodents is challenging due to the limited resolution of optical coherence tomography, which often results in the superposition of outer retinal layers, such as the rod outer segment (ROS), retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), and Bruch’s membrane, within speckle patterns. Here, we present an automated, unbiased approach for extracting spatially-resolved outer retinal dynamics from complicated speckle patterns. Using this approach, we revealed the light-evoked dynamics of both ROS and RPE in rodents.
