The Eye (Comparative Physiology) Vol.5

The Eye: Comparative Physiology

As the fifth volume in a series by Hugh Davson concerned with reviewing almost all aspects of ophthalmological research, this book maintains the overall high quality of the series. The title indicates that this volume is on comparative physiology, but it should be emphasized that the areas covered concern, primarily, aspects of aqueous humor dynamics and the physiology and biochemistry of the l...

The Eye. Vol. 6. Comparative Physiology

Volume 6 of the series "The Eye" is a companion to Volume 5, dealing with comparative physiology. Volume 6 concentrates on physiologic optics and retinal anatomy, physiology, and metabolism. Of course it is a herculean task to assemble the mass of published data on these subjects in less than 400 pages. The work cannot be considered as a reference text, however, but rather a collection of subje...

Fixational eye movements across vertebrates: comparative dynamics, physiology, and perception.

During visual fixation, human eyes are never still. Instead, they constantly produce involuntary "fixational eye movements." Fixational eye movements overcome neural adaptation and prevent visual fading: thus they are an important tool to understand how the brain makes the environment visible. The last decade has seen a growing interest in the analysis of fixational eye movements in humans and ...

The Physiology of the Eye

Most standard textbooks of general physiology contain comparatively little on ocular physiology so that the post-graduate student preparing for the ocular physiology papers in the D.O.MS, uses Duke-Elder's monumental 4 Vol. I'. Before reading this it is of great advantage to know something of the subject. Mr. Davson's book covers the same field in some 319 pages and is ideal for a first reading...
