Binocularity in the human visual evoked potential: facilitation, summation and suppression

Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology
P A ApkarianC W Tyler

Abstract

The electrophysiology of normal binocular function was investigated by studying the binocular interactions from monocular and binocular visual evoked potentials (VEPs) recorded under a range of stimulus conditions. The amplitude and phase of the steady-state VEPs, which were obtained with sinusoidal gratings temporally modulated in counterphase, were measured with synchronous narrow-band filtering techniques. Binocular interactions were investigated as functions of spatial frequency, temporal frequency and contrast. Detailed sampling and testing within each stimulus domain revealed an unprecedented degree of VEP specificity in the extent of binocular interaction, which varied from zero summation to pronounced facilitation. Binocular facilitation was explored in terms of its relation to the neural mechanisms subserving binocular function. VEP correlates of rivalry, fusion and stereopsis were obtained. The facilitatory binocular interactions, revealed by careful spatial and temporal stimulus manipulations, were akin more to the neurophysiological responses of single neurons than to previously reported evoked potential work. The relationship between the specificity and narrow tuning of the binocular interactions recorded with VEP ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide
