Optic flow induced nystagmus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new form of nystagmus is described in this paper: optic flow induced nystagmus (OFN). Optic field flow, for example when driving or viewing films on a large screen, triggered non-fatiguable upbeat nystagmus. This type of nystagmus could not be induced by vestibular stimuli, positioning, or self motion. The aetiology and anatomical correlate of OFN remains unknown. Treatment with gabapentin suppressed OFN.

Vergence nystagmus induced by motion in the ground plane: Normal response characteristics
We displayed backward/forward motion on a computer monitor in the ground plane. Subjects looked at the center of a moving pattern and eye movements of both eyes were recorded with a search coil system. Involuntary nystagmus including vertical version (VV) and horizontal vergence (HV) was recorded. Dynamics of the nystagmus showed that the slow and quick phase of VV and HV were always associated...
متن کاملLithium-induced downbeat nystagmus
We report the case of a 76-year old lady under lithium carbonate for a bipolar disorder who presented with a suspected optic neuritis. A typical lithium-induced downbeat nystagmus was observed. Discontinuation of lithium therapy resulted in frank improvement in visual acuity and disappearance of the nystagmus.
متن کاملOptokinetic nystagmus is elicited by curvilinear optic flow during high speed curve driving
When analyzing gaze behavior during curve driving, it is commonly accepted that gaze is mostly located in the vicinity of the tangent point, being the point where gaze direction tangents the curve inside edge. This approach neglects the fact that the tangent point is actually motionless only in the limit case when the trajectory precisely follows the curve's geometry. In this study, we measured...
متن کاملOcular responses to radial optic flow and single accelerated targets in humans
Self-movement in a structured environment induces retinal image motion called optic flow. Optic flow on one hand provides information about the direction of self-motion. On the other hand optic flow presents large field visual motion which will elicit eye movements for the purpose of image stabilization. We investigated oculomotor behavior in humans during the presentation of radial optic flow ...
متن کاملLatent nystagmus: vestibular nystagmus with a twist.
BACKGROUND Latent nystagmus is a horizontal binocular oscillation that is evoked by unequal visual input to the 2 eyes. It develops primarily in humans with congenital esotropia. OBJECTIVE To investigate the interrelationship between latent and peripheral vestibular nystagmus and their corollary neuroanatomical pathways. METHODS Examination of subcortical neuroanatomical pathways producing ...
