Optic flow: A brain region devoted to optic flow analysis?
نویسنده
چکیده
The visual motion - or optic flow - that results from an observer's own movement can indicate the direction of heading through the environment. Recent experiments have strengthened the argument that neurons in a specialized region of the cerebral cortex are critical for the analysis of this important class of visual stimuli.

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, autoimmune, and inflammatory nervous system disease. It leads to the loss of myelin in the white matter of brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. As a chronic disease with sudden and unpredictable Side effects and complications of the disease will lead to disability and dependency in life. Causes neurologic symptoms and sig. The purpose of the p...

Introduction: Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) is a rare inflammatory disease of the central nervous system which generally affecting the spinal cord and optic nerve. Damage to the optic nerve can result in the patient's dim vision or even blindness, while the spinal cord damage may lead to sensory and motor paralysis and the weakness of the lower limbs in the patient. Magnetic Reson...

Background and purpose: Optic neuritis is one of the common causes of unilateral or bilateral visual loss. The most common cause of this disorder is demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) and most of the patients with optic neuritis will present other signs of multiple sclerosis (MS). The diagnosis depends on the clinical findings, however, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is...

High-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can be used to precisely identify blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) activation of small structures within the brainstem not accessible with standard fMRI. A previous study identified a region within the pons exhibiting sustained neuromodulation due to electrical tongue stimulation, but was unable to precisely identify the neuronal s...

The movement of animals through space filled with various objects requires the interaction between neuronal mechanisms specialized for processing local object motion and those specialized for processing optic flow generated by self-motion of the animal. In the avian brain, visual nuclei in the tectofugal pathway are primarily involved in the detection of object motion. By contrast, the nucleus ...
