Visual loss and foveal lesions in Usher's syndrome.
Forty-eight patients with Usher's syndrome were assess for the degree of visual loss, extent of lens opacities, and presence of foveal lesions. Twenty-one patients (44%) showed either atrophic or cystic-appearing bilateral foveal changes. Despite having foveal lesions and variable degrees of lens opacities most patients maintained central visual acuity of 20/60 or better until their middle 30s.
متن کاملThe effect of inferotemporal or foveal prestriate ablation on serial reversal learning in monkeys.
Visual discrimination performance during serial reversal learning was studied in monkeys with inferotemporal or foveal prestriate lesions. Bothgroups"were equally impaired in acquisition of the discrimination when compared with normal monkeys. They also learned the reversal series more slowly than control subjects. The reversal deficit of monken with inferotemporallesions was more severe than t...
متن کاملVisual consequences of the foveal pit.
When viewing a uniform field through a small aperture moved circularly before the pupil of the eye, many observers report a diffuse dim spot subtending roughly 1 degree visual angle, which rolls around the fixation point in synchrony with the motion of the aperture. Measurements of the Stiles-Crawford maximum for different locations within the fovea confirm that small but systematic shifts in f...
متن کاملThe foveal confluence in human visual cortex.
The human visual system devotes a significant proportion of its resources to a very small part of the visual field, the fovea. Foveal vision is crucial for natural behavior and many tasks in daily life such as reading or fine motor control. Despite its significant size, this part of cortex is rarely investigated and the limited data have resulted in competing models of the layout of the foveal ...
متن کاملFoveal contour interaction: detection and discrimination.
Contour interaction, the detrimental effect of flanking features on the discrimination of optotypes, has been studied mainly close to the visual acuity limit. We were interested to know how these results compare with those for the detection of targets. According to the simplest model of contour interaction, comparable detection effects would be expected. The case for low-level masking would be ...
