DEPRIVATION AND STRABISMIC AMBLYOPIA: ABNORMALITIES IN GENICULOCORTICAL VISUAL PATHWAYS

Strabismic 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...

Abnormalities of coherent motion processing in strabismic amblyopia: Visual-evoked potential measurements.

Coherent motion responses of patients with mild to moderate strabismic amblyopia were compared to those of normals using visual-evoked potentials (VEPs). Responses were elicited by dynamic random-dot kinematograms that alternated at 0.83 Hz between globally coherent (left-right) and incoherent (random) motion states. Tuning curves were measured at the first harmonic of the global motion update ...

Haphazard neural connections underlie the visual deficits of cats with strabismic or deprivation amblyopia.

Identification of the neural basis of the visual deficits experienced by humans with amblyopia, particularly when associated with strabismus (strabismic amblyopia), has proved to be difficult in part because of the inability to observe directly the neural changes at various levels of the human visual pathway. Much of our knowledge has necessarily been obtained on the basis of sophisticated psyc...

Image 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...
