Visual test of Listing's law during vergence
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple visual test was used to measure how much Listing's plane rotates as a function of the vergence angle. This test measured the elevation-dependent torsional disparity of horizontal and vertical lines during three tasks: vergence on a near target, vergence through prisms that remained fixed, and through prisms that rotated with eye elevation. Consistent with our previous search-coil measurements, the results here suggest that the angle between the Listing's planes of the two eyes is somewhat less than the vergence angle.

Plasticity of convergence-dependent variations of cyclovergence with vertical gaze
Binocular alignment of foveal images is facilitated by cross-couplings of vergence eye movements with distance and direction of gaze. These couplings reduce horizontal, vertical and cyclodisparities at the fovea without using feedback from retinal image disparity. Horizontal vergence is coupled with accommodation. Vertical vergence that aligns tertiary targets in asymmetric convergence is thoug...
متن کاملUsing a synoptophore to test Listing's law during vergence in normal subjects and strabismic patients
The synoptophore was used to measure torsional interocular disparity. This, in turn, was used to compute how much the angle between the Listing's plane (LP) of the two eyes changes as a function of the vergence angle. The ratio of these two angles was defined as G. We measured G in normals and in patients suffering from intermittent horizontal strabismus. Consistent with previous search-coil ex...
متن کاملListing's plane dependence on alternating fixation in a strabismus patient
Listing's law of the eye is one of the best studied findings in motor control, but its functional meaning is still incompletely understood and its status in neurological disorders and in strabismus is almost entirely unknown. We investigated the mechanisms underlying Listing's law and its possible clinical relevance. The dual magnetic search coil technique was used to record three-dimensional b...
متن کاملRotation of Listing's plane during vergence.
When visually fixating targets on an isovergence surface, the position of each eye was constrained to a plane. Thus, Listing's law holds during vergence. The planes were, however, rotated temporally with respect to those when viewing distant targets. The effect of this rotation was to produce a torsion which depended on eye elevation; extorsion of the two eyes for downward gaze and intorsion fo...
متن کاملCombined influence of vergence and eye position on three-dimensional vestibulo-ocular reflex in the monkey.
This study examined two kinematical features of the rotational vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) of the monkey in near vision. First, is there an effect of eye position on the axes of eye rotation during yaw, pitch and roll head rotations when the eyes are converged to fixate near targets? Second, do the three-dimensional positions of the left and right eye during yaw and roll head rotations obey t...
