Magnocellular training improves visual word recognition
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012 Current research has shown that the magnocellular system may play a crucial role in reading deficits related to dyslexia. The current study explored the relationship between magnocellular activity and reading abilities; we examined the hypothesis that a ...

Eye movement dynamics are a key factor for intra-saccadic motion perception [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe objectives of this study were to investigate, using multimodal neuroimaging techniques, the involvement of an extended network of visual (V1, V2, V3, hV4 and MT/V5) and oculomotor regions (IPS and FEF) in intra-saccadic motion perception, and how the

Children, 2021 Many studies have investigated the visual magnocellular system functioning in dyslexia. However, very little is known on the relationship between the visual magnocellular system functioning and reading abilities in typical developing readers.

Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: How abnormal visual experiences early in life influence human subcortical pathways is poorly understood. Using high-resolution fMRI and pathway-selective visual stimuli, we investigate the influence of amblyopia on response properties and the ...

Examining the role of red background in magnocellular contribution to face perception [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 This study examines the role of the magnocellular system in the early stages of face perception, in particular sex categorization. Utilizing the specific property of magnocellular suppression in red light, we investigated visually guided reaching to low ...

The visual basis of reading and reading difficulties
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Most of our knowledge about the neural networks mediating reading has derived from studies of developmental dyslexia (DD). For much of the 20th C. this was diagnosed on the basis of finding a discrepancy between children’s unexpectedly low reading and ...

Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Dyslexic individuals have been reported to have reduced global motion sensitivity, which could be attributed to various causes including atypical magnocellular or dorsal stream function, impaired spatial integration, increased internal noise and/or ...

The Dominant Eye: Dominant for Parvo- But Not for Magno-Biased Stimuli?
Vision, 2020 Eye dominance is often defined as a preference for the visual input of one eye to the other. Implicit in this definition is the dominant eye has better visual function. Several studies have investigated the effect of visual direction or defocus on ocular

Visually cued fear conditioning test for memory impairment related to cortical function
Neuropsychopharmacology Reports, 2020 Aim Fear conditioning tests are intended to elucidate a subject's ability to associate a conditioned stimulus with an aversive, unconditioned stimulus, such as footshock.

Reduced Visual Magnocellular Event-Related Potentials in Developmental Dyslexia
Brain Sciences, 2021 (1) Background—the magnocellular hypothesis proposes that impaired development of the visual timing systems in the brain that are mediated by magnocellular (M-) neurons is a major cause of dyslexia.
