Developmental disorders of vision [PDF]
Neurologic Clinics, 2003 This review of developmental disorders of vision focuses on only a few of the many disorders that disrupt visual development. Given the enormity of the human visual system in the primate brain and complexity of visual development, however, there are likely hundreds or thousands of types of disorders affecting high-level vision.

Vision in autism spectrum disorders [PDF]
Vision Research, 2009 Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are developmental disorders which are thought primarily to affect social functioning. However, there is now a growing body of evidence that unusual sensory processing is at least a concomitant and possibly the cause of many of the behavioural signs and symptoms of ASD.

Detecting disorder in spatial vision
Vision Research, 2000 In normal foveal vision, visual space is accurately mapped from retina to cortex. However, the normal periphery, and the central field of strabismic amblyopes have elevated position discrimination thresholds, which have often been ascribed to increased 'intrinsic' spatial disorder.

Clinical disorders affecting mesopic vision [PDF]
Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, 2006 AbstractVision in the mesopic range is affected by a number of inherited and acquired clinical disorders. We review these conditions and summarize the historical background, describing the clinical characteristics alongside the genetic basis and molecular biological mechanisms giving rise to rod and cone dysfunction relevant to twilight vision.

The Genetic Basis for Normal Vision and Vision Disorders
The FASEB Journal, 2012 The genes encoding the long‐(L) and middle‐(M) wavelength sensitive cone photopigment opsins are located on the X‐chromosome, and the gene encoding the short‐(S) wavelength sensitive opsin is on chromosome 7. Inherited red‐green color vision deficiencies are quite common and are most often associated with deletions or rearrangements of the L and M cone

Color Vision Losses in Autism Spectrum Disorders [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2017 Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are neurodevelopmental conditions characterized by impairments in social/communication abilities and restricted behaviors. The present study aims to examine color vision discrimination in ASD children and adolescents without intellectual disability.

An inherited disorder with splenomegaly, cytopenias, and vision loss [PDF]
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, 2012 AbstractWe describe a novel inherited disorder consisting of idiopathic massive splenomegaly, cytopenias, anhidrosis, chronic optic nerve edema, and vision loss. This disorder involves three affected patients in a single non‐consanguineous Caucasian family, a mother and two daughters, who are half‐sisters.

For an anthropology of eating disorders. A pornographic vision of the self
Eating and Weight Disorders - Studies on Anorexia, Bulimia and Obesity, 2005 In reading the considerations of the leading contemporary sociologists, attentive observers of the metamorphosis of identity in the post-modern age, a game came to my mind: "what if I mixed up quotes from these scholars' papers with extracts from patients' clinical reports, especially people suffering from so-called "eating disorders"? The objective of
