Effects of low concentrations of cyclopropane and halothane on peak velocity of saccadic eye movements.

چکیده
We have investigated the effect of 4.7 and 8.8% MAC of cyclopropane, and 5.3 and 9.3% MAC of halothane on the peak velocity of saccadic eye movements (PSV) in six healthy volunteers. Both concentrations of cyclopropane and halothane significantly depressed PSV (P less than 0.01) compared with air, in a dose-related fashion. Halothane depressed PSV significantly more than cyclopropane (P less than 0.05). PSV returned to baseline within 5 min after discontinuation of the agents. There was no significant difference between cyclopropane, halothane and air in subjective assessment of sedation.

متن کاملEffects of anisometropic amblyopia on visuomotor behavior, I: saccadic eye movements.
PURPOSE Impairment of spatiotemporal visual processing is the hallmark of amblyopia, but its effects on eye movements during visuomotor tasks have rarely been studied. Here the authors investigate how visual deficits in anisometropic amblyopia affect saccadic eye movements. METHODS Thirteen patients with anisometropic amblyopia and 13 control subjects participated. Participants executed sacca...
متن کاملEffect of aging on saccadic eye movements to visual and auditory targets.
Elderly patients with diseases of the central nervous system often show saccadic disorders. Before these disorders can be called pathological, they must be distinguished from the physiological effects of aging. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of aging on visual and auditory saccadic eye movements. Ninety healthy volunteers were divided into three groups (younger than 30 ye...
متن کاملThe influence of repetitive eye movements on vergence performance
We measured the peak velocity of convergence eye movement responses in four normal subjects before and after a large number of either repetitive vergence or repetitive saccadic eye movements. A 20% decrease in the mean value of peak velocity was observed in vergence responses after 100 repetitive step vergence eye movements. However, 100 cycles of slow sinusoidal vergence tracking did not induc...
متن کاملVariability and development of a normative data base for saccadic eye movements.
The duration, peak velocity, and acceleration of the saccadic eye movements of 13 normal subjects are plotted as functions of saccadic magnitude. The apparent peak velocity of a saccadic eye movement is sensitive to the algorithms used to calculate the velocity. The velocity channel filter should have zero phase shift and a cutoff frequency between 60 and 100 Hz in order to limit noise but pass...
