Assessment of cortical dysfunction in human strabismic amblyopia using magnetoencephalography (MEG)
The aim of this study was to use the technique of magnetoencephalography (MEG) to determine the effects of strabismic amblyopia on the processing of spatial information within the occipital cortex of humans. We recorded evoked magnetic responses to the onset of a chromatic (red/green) sinusoidal grating of periodicity 0.5-4.0 c deg-1 using a 19-channel SQUID-based neuromagnetometer. Evoked resp...
متن کاملDegraded attentional modulation of cortical neural populations in strabismic amblyopia
Behavioral studies have reported reduced spatial attention in amblyopia, a developmental disorder of spatial vision. However, the neural populations in the visual cortex linked with these behavioral spatial attention deficits have not been identified. Here, we use functional MRI-informed electroencephalography source imaging to measure the effect of attention on neural population activity in th...
متن کاملStrabismic amblyopia.
NOTWITHSTANDING the vast literature, a complete and satisfactory definition of the clinical picture of amblyopia in strabismus has not yet been produced, and some symptoms are often confused with those of other forms of functional amblyopia. Bangerter (1953) and many other authors embrace in the term " amblyopia ex anopsia" the amblyopia observed in anisometropia, in high ametropia, and in nyst...
متن کاملImage segregation in strabismic amblyopia
Humans with naturally occurring amblyopia show deficits thought to involve mechanisms downstream of V1. These include excessive crowding, abnormal global image processing, spatial sampling and symmetry detection and undercounting. Several recent studies suggest that humans with naturally occurring amblyopia show deficits in global image segregation. The current experiments were designed to stud...
متن کاملCortical locations of maximal spindle activity: magnetoencephalography (MEG) study.
The aim of this study was to determine the main cortical regions related to maximal spindle activity of sleep stage 2 in healthy individual subjects during a brief morning nap using magnetoencephalography (MEG). Eight volunteers (mean age: 26.1 +/- 8.7, six women) all right handed, free of any medical psychiatric or sleep disorders were studied. Whole-head 148-channel MEG and a conventional pol...
