Inattentional Blindness: Reply to Commentaries

each of which has been attributed to inattention, have been vigorously investigated in the last several years. One of the questions that has arisen in connection with all of them is whether they are failures of perception or memory, and this question is raised by Moore in this symposium. In her commentary she argues, in opposition to the claim made in Inattentional Blindness (Mack & Rock, 1998)...

Color-Vision and Color-Blindness

Special public attention was called to the subject in 1875 by an enquiry into the causes of a railway accident which had taken place in Sweden, from which it appears that colourblindness was the cause of the disaster. Our author having described colour-sensations, goes on to discuss the theories of colour-perception and colour-blindness, classifying the latter defect as total and partial. Total...

Reply to more on: the role of thrombin in gliomas.

We thank Dr Arbit for his interest in our article. We have demonstrated that argatroban reduces peritumoral brain edema, tumor mass and improves tumor-induced neurological deficits in a rat glioma model [1,2]. As Dr Arbit suggests, argatroban may also be useful to reduce the deep vein thrombosis that can occur in glioma patients [3]. Argatroban is a small molecule that binds to the active site ...


Gene Therapy for Color Blindness

Achromatopsia is a rare congenital cause of vision loss due to isolated cone photoreceptor dysfunction. The most common underlying genetic mutations are autosomal recessive changes in CNGA3, CNGB3, GNAT2, PDE6H, PDE6C, or ATF6. Animal models of Cnga3, Cngb3, and Gnat2 have been rescued using AAV gene therapy; showing partial restoration of cone electrophysiology and integration of this new phot...
