First- and second-order contrast sensitivity functions reveal disrupted visual processing following mild traumatic brain injury
Vision is disrupted by traumatic brain injury (TBI), with vision-related complaints being amongst the most common in this population. Based on the neural responses of early visual cortical areas, injury to the visual cortex would be predicted to affect both 1(st) order and 2(nd) order contrast sensitivity functions (CSFs)-the height and/or the cut-off of the CSF are expected to be affected by T...
متن کاملComparison of contrast-response functions from multifocal visual-evoked potentials (mfVEPs) and functional MRI responses.
Contrast response functions (CRFs) from multifocal visual-evoked potential (mfVEP) and BOLD fMRI responses were obtained using the same stimuli to test the hypothesis of a linear relationship between the mfVEP and BOLD fMRI responses. Monocular mfVEP and BOLD fMRI responses were obtained using an 8 degrees in diameter, dartboard pattern stimulus with reversing checkerboards. Six contrast condit...
متن کاملGing Affects Contrast Response Functions and Daptation of Middle Temporal Visual Area Neurons in Hesus Monkeys
bstract—In the present study we studied the effects of agng on the coding of contrast in area V1 (primary visual ortex) and MT (middle temporal visual area) of the macaque onkey using single-neuron in vivo electrophysiology. Our esults show that both MT and V1 neurons in old monkeys are ess sensitive to contrast than those in young monkeys. enerally, contrast sensitivity is affected by aging mo...
متن کاملContrast response functions in the visual wulst of the alert burrowing owl: a single-unit study.
The neuronal representation of luminance contrast has not been thoroughly studied in birds. Here we present a detailed quantitative analysis of the contrast response of 120 individual neurons recorded from the visual wulst of awake burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia). Stimuli were sine-wave gratings presented within the cell classical receptive field and optimized in terms of eye preference, di...
متن کاملBlood oxygenation level-dependent contrast response functions identify mechanisms of covert attention in early visual areas.
Covert attention can lead to improved performance in perceptual tasks. The neural and functional mechanisms of covert attention are still under investigation. Using both rapid event-related and mixed designs, we measured the blood oxygenation level-dependent functional MRI contrast response functions over the full range of contrast (0-100%) in the retinotopically defined early visual areas (V1,...
