Autism Pathogenesis: The Superior Colliculus

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
After been exposed to the visual input, in the first year of life, the brain experiences subtle but massive changes apparently crucial for communicative/emotional and social human development. Its lack could be the explanation of the very high prevalence

Bilateral neuroinflammatory processes in visual pathways induced by unilateral ocular hypertension in the rat

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2016
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness in the world. The major risk factor is elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) leading to progressive retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death from the optic nerve (ON) to visual pathways in the brain.

Two Visual Pathways in Primates Based on Sampling of Space: Exploitation and Exploration of Visual Information

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2016
Evidence is strong that the visual pathway is segregated into two distinct streams—ventral and dorsal. Two proposals theorize that the pathways are segregated in function: The ventral stream processes information about object identity, whereas the dorsal

MRI study of the posterior visual pathways in primary open angle glaucoma

Journal of glaucoma, 2016
Purpose of the Study: The purpose of the study was to evaluate neurodegeneration along brain visual pathways in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) using improved analysis methods of volumetric and diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data ...

Dissociations and Associations between Shape and Category Representations in the Two Visual Pathways

Journal of Neuroscience, 2015
The dorsal and ventral visual pathways represent both visual and conceptual object properties. Yet the relative contribution of these two factors in the representational content of visual areas is unclear.

Automatic Retinal Nerve Fiber Segmentation and the Influence of Intersubject Variability in Ocular Parameters on the Mapping of Retinal Sites to the Pointwise Orientation Angles

Journal of Imaging
The current study investigates the influence of intersubject variability in ocular characteristics on the mapping of visual field (VF) sites to the pointwise directional angles in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) bundle traces.

Higher integrity of the motor and visual pathways in long-term video game players

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015
Long term video game players (VGPs) exhibit superior visual and motor skills compared with non-video game control subjects (NVGCs). However, the neural basis underlying the enhanced behavioral performance remains largely unknown.

Causal effect of COVID-19 on optic nerve and visual pathway disorders: genetic evidence of lung-brain axis

Frontiers in Immunology
PurposeTo investigate the potential causal association between COVID-19 exposure and optic nerve and visual pathway disorders through a two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis, and to provide empirical support for the lung-brain ...

Neural pathways for visual speech perception

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014
This paper examines the questions, what levels of speech can be perceived visually, and how is visual speech represented by the brain? Review of the literature leads to the conclusions that every level of psycholinguistic speech structure (i.e., phonetic

Structural Differences Across Multiple Visual Cortical Regions in the Absence of Cone Function in Congenital Achromatopsia

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Most individuals with congenital achromatopsia (ACHM) carry mutations that affect the retinal phototransduction pathway of cone photoreceptors, fundamental to both high acuity vision and colour perception. As the central fovea is occupied solely by cones,
