Book Description
From the 98 presentations of the XIIth Symposium on Colour Vision Deficiencies, 61 were selected after peer review and revision by the authors. In addition to these contributions this volume contains a cumulative index to all authors in the IRGCVD proceedings since the first one in 1968, including the present volume. The contents include contributions on basic questions of anatomical and electrophysiological organisation of the neural pathways underlying colour vision; and on ways in which disturbances of these pathways can produce acquired colour vision deficiencies. Further contributions deal with genetics and congenital red--green colour deficiencies and colour vision testing. The resulting publication contains much of interest to basic vision scientists as well as to specialists in colour vision deficiencies.

Retinal Pigment Epithelium and Macular Diseases
Author: Gabriel Coscas
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401151377
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
This volume of Documenta Ophthalmologica Proceedings Series collects the scientific papers presented at the 2nd International Symposium on Retinal Pigment Epithelium and the 4th Meeting of the European Macula Group held in Genoa, May 29-June 1, 1996. The Symposium on Retinal Pigment Epithelium was promoted by the University Eye Clinic of Genoa as the natural continuation of the first Symposium held with great success in Genoa in 1988. The previous Meetings of the European Macula Group were held in Coimbra (1988), Crete (1989) and Athens (1994). I was greatly pleased and honoured to host the fourth congress of this distinguished Society and I am grateful to Gabriel Coscas, Jose Cunha-Vaz and George Theodossiadis, found ers of the Society, for selecting Genoa on this occasion. The two meetings integrated well in an unicuum and brought together an exceptional number of outstanding retinal specialists coming from all over the world. All the aspects of the current research concerning retinal pigment epithelial and macular diseases were covered. Several interesting presentations regarded new techniques of retinal and choroidal imaging. A full session was dedicated to the latest advances in culture and transplantation of retinal pigment epithelial cells. Age-related macular degeneration was a major subject for discussion, including new approaches to treatment. This topic was high lighted by a mini-symposium on drusen, including a series of superb lectures on classification, clinicopathological studies, indocyanine green imaging, and laser treatment for prevention of choroidal neovascularization.

Vision in Alzheimer's Disease
Author: Alice Cronin-Golomb
Publisher: Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers
ISBN: 331801091X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
Visual dysfunction is prevalent in Alzheimer's disease and in related disorders such as posterior cortical atrophy and Down syndrome. The neuropathology of these disorders affects brain areas that process low-level vision as well as higher-order cognition and attention. This volume spans the range of topics on vision, from structure (retinal and cortical) to function (cortical activation) to behavior (perception, cognition, attention, hallucinations, and everyday activities). The chapters together indicate that lower-level visual deficits can contribute to, or masquerade as, higher-order cognitive impairments. As important, they suggest that vision-based interventions may improve patients' lives. An emerging theme is that the study of variations in visual-system pathology, behavior, and genetic risk will likely provide insights into typical Alzheimer's disease as well as related conditions. The visual disorders of Alzheimer's original case and its cousins of the 21st century have much to teach us about the changing visual system in aging and age-related neurodegenerative disease. This book is essential reading for neurologists, neuropsychologists, ophthalmologists and optometrists, geriatricians and gerontologists, psychiatrists, occupational therapists and other health professionals who provide diagnosis and clinical care to individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders.

Downward Processes In The Perception Representation Mechanisms - Proceedings Of The International School Of Biocybernetics
Author: Cloe Taddei-ferretti
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814544477
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 606
Book Description
Perception is the first step in the whole of the cognitive processes (attention, learning, memory, categorization, imagery, intuition, inference, comprehension, thought, judgement, expression) which culminate in the reasoning activity and to which emotions make a contribution. The production of perception representations is correlated with the perception events. Such perception representations occur by means of the contribution of two kinds of factors: sensory signals which reproduce the spatio-temporal characteristics of the receptor modifications, and interpretation of the intrinsic ambiguity of such signals by means of unconscious inferences. Various interactions intervene between bottom-up signals from peripheral receptors and top-down signals from higher centres.
