Pattern reversal visually evoked potentials in infants.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Visually evoked potentials (VEP) were recorded from infants two to six months of age using a checkerboard pattern reversal stimulus. By six months, infants produced the largest amplitude VEP to checks subtending visual angles of 7.5 or 15 minutes of arc, as do adults with 20/20 acuity. This finding indicates that by six months an infant's sensory capacity for a visual acuity of 20/20 is established.

Variation in latency times of visually evoked cortical potentials.
Latency times of visually evoked cortical potentials stimulated by reversal of a slow checkerboard pattern are highly dependent on the time needed to accomplish the reversal movement. If, owing to the method, the pattern reversal time is not kept stable, variability of the latency times is unnecessarily high for clinical purposes. This may be the case when television equipment is used.
متن کاملPattern-reversal visual evoked potentials as a diagnostic tool for ocular malingering.
Purpose: To investigate the contributions of transient pattern-reversal visual evoked potentials in the diagnosis of ocular malingering at a Brazilian university hospital. Methods: Adult patients with suspected malingering in one or both eyes were referred for visual evoked potential testing. Data from patients' medical records were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively. Data analysis include...
متن کاملVisually evoked potentials in eccentrically and centrally fixing amblyopes.
Visually evoked potentials to checkerboard pattern reversal were found to be nearly five times larger in eccentrically fixing amblyopic eyes than in centrally fixing amblyopic eyes when compared with the fellow non-amblyopic eye. The two groups of amblyopes had comparably poor visual acuity and differed in no other way save in their fixation behaviour. This suggests that at least two neurodevel...
متن کاملSimulated nystagmus suppresses pattern-reversal but not pattern-onset visual evoked potentials.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to quantify and compare the effects of simulated horizontal nystagmus on pattern-reversal and pattern-onset visual evoked potentials (VEPs). METHODS In eight visually normal subjects with normal oculomotor behaviour, we monitored eye movements and recorded pattern-reversal and pattern-onset VEPs from occipital electrodes. Subjects viewed the stimulus monocul...
متن کاملComparison of the Wave Amplitude of Visually Evoked Potential in Amblyopic Eyes between Patients with Esotropia and Anisometropia and a Normal Group
Background: We compared the wave amplitude of visually evoked potential (VEP) between patients with esotropic and anisometropic amblyopic eyes and a normal group.Methods: The wave amplitude of VEP was documented in 2 groups of persons with amblyopia (15 with esotropia and 28 with anisometropia) and 1 group of individuals with normal visual acuity (n, 15). The amplitude of P100 was recorded mono...
