Changing Human Visual Field Organization from Early Visual to Extra-Occipital Cortex
BACKGROUND The early visual areas have a clear topographic organization, such that adjacent parts of the cortical surface represent distinct yet adjacent parts of the contralateral visual field. We examined whether cortical regions outside occipital cortex show a similar organization. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The BOLD responses to discrete visual field locations that varied in both pola...
متن کاملVisual Field Map Organization in Human Visual Cortex
The search for organizing principles of visual processing in cortex has proven long and fruitful, demonstrating specific types of organization arising on multiple scales (e.g., magnocellular / parvo-cellular pathways [1] and ocular dominance columns [2]). One of the more important larger scale organizing principles of visual cortical organization is the visual field map (VFM): neurons whose vis...
متن کاملAn fMRI study of human visual cortex in response to spatiotemporal properties of visual stimuli
ABSTRACT Background: The brain response to temporal frequencies (TF) has been already reported, but with no study reported for different TF with respect to various spatial frequencies (SF). Materials and Methods: fMRI was performed by 1.5T GE-system in 14 volunteers during checkerboard, with TFs of 4, 6, 8 and 10Hz in low and high SFs of 0.5 and 8cpd. Results: Average percentage BOLD signa...
متن کاملoccipital war trauma and visual field defects
seven cases of visual field defects, caused by wartrauma were seen at farabi eye hospital. none were referred by a neurologist. four patients had 20/20 visions with normal fundi. one had 12/20, in both eyes, with normal fundi. two patients presented fundus changes. the visual field defects were seen in all these seven patients. four had homonymous hemianopia, one had bilateral field restriction...
متن کاملFeedback Contributions to Visual Awareness in Human Occipital Cortex
It has traditionally been assumed that processing within the visual system proceeds in a bottom-up, feedforward manner from retina to higher cortical areas. In addition to feedforward processing, it is now clear that there are also important contributions to sensory encoding that rely upon top-down, feedback (reentrant) projections from higher visual areas to lower ones. By utilizing transcrani...
