Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a snapshot of the state of the art of oculomotor and vestibular research, focusing on the bridge between laboratory and clinical research and the interdisciplinary relationships among ophthalmology, neurology, and otology. A common theme in contemporary neuroscience is how the brain learns and adapts at the most basic levels and how patients can benefit from this type of research. Recent advances in the physiology and anatomy of the eye muscles and other orbital structures and their relevance to strabismus sets the stage in the first section. Then, attention shifts to the vestibular system, beginning with the peripheral applications to clinical neuro-otology, including adaptive control of vestibular reflexes and the implications for programs of physical rehabilitation of patients. Further chapters are directed toward the mechanisms of eye movement control developed specifically in foveate species -- saccades, pursuit, and vergence -- here with an emphasis on applications to clinical neurology and neuro-ophthalmology. Finally, the role of higher-level cerebral processing in the control of eye movements is presented in the framework of state-of-the-art brain imaging and sophisticated behavioral testing paradigms in both humans and experimental animals. The volume provides a critical update from a number of disciplines -- both clinical and basic -- to bring basic physiology to the bedside and vice versa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of the Ninth European Conference on Eye Movements (ECEM 9), held in Ulm, Germany, on September 23-26, 1997. ECEM 9 con tinued a series of conferences initiated by Rudolf Groner of Bern, Switzerland, in 1981 which, from its very beginning, has brought together scientists from very diverse fields with a common interest in eye movements. About 40 of the papers presented at ECEM 9 have been selected for presentation in full length while others are rendered in condensed form. There is a broad spectrum of motives why people have become involved in, and fas cinated by, eye movement research. Neuroscientists have been allured by the prospect of understanding anatomical findings, single unit recordings, and the sequels of experimental lesions in terms of the clearly defined system requirements and the well documented be havioural repertoire of the oculomotor system. Others have been attracted by the richness of this repertoire and its dependence on an intricate hierarchy of factors spanning from "simple" reflexes to visual pattern recognition and spatio-temporal prediction. Neurolo gists, neuro-ophthalmologists and neuro-otologists have long standing experience with eye movements as sensitive indicators of lesions in the brain stem, the midbrain, and the cere bellum. By studying oculomotor malfunctions they have made, and are continuing to make, important contributions to our understanding of oculomotor functions.

Download or read book Vestibulo Oculomotor Research in Space written by Andrew H. Clarke and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-30 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph describes the findings of spaceflight research related to spatial orientation, sensorimotor coordination and mental function. Exposed to the microgravity conditions of spaceflight, the human experiences a variety of physiological and psychological problems, which are presented here. Recent findings of sensory motor research in space are depicted and their benefits for life on earth discussed. The examination of the vestibulo-oculomotor system for example has led to the development of innovative devices for the measurement of three-dimensional eye and head movements. These devices are currently employed in Earthbound applications such as eye laser surgery. The book is written for students and researchers in neurosciences, biomedical engineering, for neurologists and psychologists as well as for persons wanting to know more about biomedical research in space and its application on earth.

Download or read book Oculomotor Systems and Perception written by Sheldon M. Ebenholtz and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-08-27 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2001 text was the first to emphasize the role of oculomotor systems in perception. Oculomotor systems that regulate eye movements play an important role in accounting for certain qualities of visual experience. They are implicated in a wide array of perceptual topics, from apparent size, depth, and distance, to apparent slant and vertical orientation. The text begins with a brief introduction to the basic characteristics of such oculomotor systems as those controlling vergence, pursuit, the vestibulo-ocular response, and saccadic eye movements. Also introduced are fundamental concepts in physiological optics. Next explored are mechanisms of perception, with a particular focus on eye movements, and the remarkably diverse implications of oculomotor research, which extend to motion sickness and life in space orbit. Insights into dysfunctional vision are also offered. This book complements standard texts on visual perception, yet may be read independently by those with a modest background in vision science.

Download or read book Models of Oculomotor Control written by George K. Hung and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2001 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is a structured review of models of oculomotor control systems that is geared toward biomedical engineers, vision scientists, and optometry students. It aims to provide the biomedical engineer with a thorough understanding of how various engineering control principles are applied to oculomotor systems, and the non-engineer with knowledge of how various physiological and clinical concepts can be represented quantitatively and efficiently by control system models.Basic control system concepts and oculomotor physiology are first introduced, along with a glossary, to provide background for the more advanced topics. Then, these concepts are applied to static linear and nonlinear analysis of various oculomotor systems. In addition, advanced topics are presented on the application of dynamic linear and nonlinear modeling techniques to the oculomotor system, with a particular emphasis on myopia development. This book can thus serve as a unique reference for quantitative analysis of oculomotor control, and as a foundation for future research on the oculomotor system.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Objective: The aim of this study was to (1) determine the proportion of children and adolescents, who present with clinical oculomotor and vestibular function deficits in the first week after sustaining an mTBI and (2) explore their relation to functional mobility and balance in children and adolescents. Study Design: A cross-sectional study included 29 children aged 8-17 years, who had sustained an mTBI in the previous 7-10 days. Setting: Participants were recruited from the concussion clinic of the Montreal Children's Hospital, McGill University Health Center.Methods: Functional mobility and balance were examined using the Functional Gait Assessment (FGA) and the Biodex Balance System (BBS) respectively. Three eye movements: saccades, smooth pursuits and vergence, were assessed to characterize oculomotor function. Vestibular function was assessed using Dynamic Visual Acuity (DVA) and Subjective Visual Vertical (SVV). Participant's characteristics such as history, number of previous concussions and self reported post concussion symptoms were also noted from the medical chart. The principle analysis included descriptive statistics and multiple linear regressions. Results: Saccades and smooth pursuits were within normal limits while vergence was found abnormal in 20.7% of children. Approximately half the children exhibited abnormal DVA but no SVV deficits. Functional mobility problems were present with a mean FGA score of 25.7 ± 3.9 but static balance was within normal limits. Except for vergence, neither oculomotor nor vestibular function deficits were significantly related to functional mobility. Conclusion: Children in the sub-acute stage post mTBI present with some clinical oculomotor and vestibular impairments. Despite the fact that they were not related to functional mobility, such impairments may be responsible for a number of self-reported post-concussion symptoms and could be the object of specific targeted intervention. We therefore recommend the inclusion of basic clinical tests foroculomotor and vestibular function to screen children and adolescents post-mTBI." --

Download or read book The Neurology of Eye Movements Text and CD ROM written by Departments of Neurology R. John Leigh Professor, Neuroscience Otolaryngology and Biomedical Engineering Case Western Reserve University University Hospitals and Veterans Affairs Medical Center Cleveland Ohio and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1999-08-26 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Neurology of Eye Movements provides clinicians with a synthesis of current scientific information that can be applied to the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of ocular motility. Basic scientists will also benefit from descriptions of how data from anatomical, electrophysiological, pharmacological, and imaging studies can be directly applied to the study of disease. By critically reviewing such basic studies, the authors build a conceptual framework that can be applied to the interpretation of abnormal ocular motor behavior at the bedside. These syntheses are summarized in displays, new figures, schematics and tables. Early chapters discuss the visual need and neural basis for each functional class of eye movements. Two large chapters deal with the evaluation of double vision and systematically evaluate how many disorders of the central nervous system affect eye movements. This edition has been extensively rewritten, and contains many new figures and an up-to-date section on the treatment of abnormal eye movements such as nystagmus. A major innovation has been the development of an option to read the book from a compact disc, make use of hypertext links (which bridge basic science to clinical issues), and view the major disorders of eye movements in over 60 video clips. This volume will provide pertinent, up-to-date information to neurologists, neuroscientists, ophthalmologists, visual scientists, otalaryngologists, optometrists, biomedical engineers, and psychologists.
