Effects of a fixation target on torsional optokinetic nystagmus.
PURPOSE To investigate the effects of an imaginary and a visual target on torsional optokinetic nystagmus (tOKN) and directional symmetry of tOKN. METHODS Torsional OKN was induced by a rotating random dot pattern (52 degrees in diameter, constant angular velocity: +/-30 deg/sec to +/-52 deg/sec) with an imaginary or a visual target in 11 eyes of 10 healthy humans by dual-search coil methods....
متن کاملVisual fixation of a target and suppression of optokinetic nystagmus: Effects of varying target feedback
The ability to maintain foveal fixation of a target with either a stationary or moving background is often assumed to depend primarily on a difference (in velocity and/or position) between fovea and target. However, when subjects look at a target stabilized at the fovea presented against sinusoidal motion of an optokinetic stimulus field, optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) is suppressed. This suppress...
متن کاملScotopic Optokinetic Nystagmus Thresholds
Although it is now well established that a variety of ocular and systemic diseases, including diabetes, are harmful to the SWS cone pathway, causing a decrease in SW sensitivity,"the site(s) of the loss is not well known. The loss in SW sensitivity in diabetes has been variously attributed to changes in the lens, loss of SWS cone receptors due to their greater vulnerability to insult, the reduc...
متن کاملObjective assessment of visual acuity by induction of optokinetic nystagmus.
Optokinetic nystagmus is the term applied to the nystagmus evoked by a succession of moving objects passing before the eyes (Brain, 1962). It has proved useful as a diagnostic tool in the examination of patients with neurological disease (Cogan, 1956; Huber, 1961; Smith, 1963; Walsh, 1957). Methods of inducing and suppressing optokinetic nystagmus have also been used as the basis for objective ...
متن کاملStudy of congenital nystagmus: optokinetic nystagmus.
A severe defect of optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) was found in 46 patients with congenital nystagmus. Abnormal patterns of OKN, such as superimposition of pendular oscillations on the optokinetic slow component and inversion of OKN, were observed. Optokinetic gain (eye movement velocity/drum velocity) was decreased compared to that in normal subjects, and optokinetic after-nystagmus, or transient ...
