PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical characteristics and therapeutic outcomes of cytomegalovirus (CMV)-positive Posner-Schlossman syndrome patients undergoing topical ganciclovir treatment. DESIGN Retrospective, comparative, and interventional case series. METHODS One eye of each of 126 consecutive Posner-Schlossman syndrome patients was investigated using aqueous polymerase chain reaction (PCR...

Numerous studies conducted within the recent decades have utilized the Posner cuing paradigm for eliciting, measuring, and theoretically characterizing attentional orienting. However, the data from recent studies suggest that the Posner cuing task might not provide an unambiguous measure of attention, as reflexive spatial orienting has been found to interact with extraneous processes engaged by...

ackground: Theories in affective neuroscience suggest that mood disorders involve perturbations in attention–emotion interactions. e tested the hypothesis that frustration adversely impacts attention and behavior in children with bipolar disorder (BPD). ethods: Thirty-five children with BPD and 26 normal control subjects completed: 1) a Posner attention task with feedback but no ontingencies; 2...

The capacity to effortfully control or regulate behavior is of central importance in social development. Individual differences in effortful control have been hypothesized to reflect biologically based, temperamental variation among children. Posner and Rothbart (1994, 1998) have argued that the anterior attention system, which includes areas of the midprefrontal cortex, underlies effortful con...

BACKGROUND Theories in affective neuroscience suggest that mood disorders involve perturbations in attention-emotion interactions. We tested the hypothesis that frustration adversely impacts attention and behavior in children with bipolar disorder (BPD). METHODS Thirty-five children with BPD and 26 normal control subjects completed: 1) a Posner attention task with feedback but no contingencie...

When we look around, only a part of the visual signals arriving at our retinae at each moment in time is selected for in-depth processing. This form of selectivity is called visual attention. Visual attention has many different purposes. Selection can gate access of information to perception (Scharlau, 2002), memory (Duncan & Humphreys, 1989), or motor control (Allport, 1989). Corresponding to ...
