Improving visual field tests for populations with advanced glaucoma and visual field loss in the periphery
The visual field can extend up to 100° in the temporal visual region; however, in patients with glaucoma and other diseases that affect peripheral vision, only the central 30° of the visual field is monitored regularly in clinical practice using static perimetry. These static tests are rapid and …

Reclaiming the periphery: Kinetic perimetry in patients with glaucoma
… of the central 30˚ is the most often used visual field test in glaucoma patients. Short test durations are achieved by focusing on a central region, which constitutes ~20% of the visual field. However, ignoring the periphery may sacrifice information on how patients are affected …

The role of peripheral visual cues in planning and controlling movement :|ban investigation of which cues provided by different parts of the visual field influence the execution of movement and how they work to control upper and lower limb motion.
Visual cues have previously been classified as visual exproprioceptive, when defining the relative position of the body within the environment and are continuously updated while moving (online), and visual exteroceptive when describing static features of the environment which are typically …

Auditory Cortex Projections Target the Peripheral Field Representation of Primary Visual Cortex
… was to identify projections from auditory to visual cortex and their organization. Retrograde tracer wheat germ agglutinin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase was used to identify the sources of auditory cortical projections to primary visual cortex (areas 17&18) in adult cats. Two groups of …

Gene therapy provides long-term visual function in a pre-clinical model of retinitis pigmentosa
… Patients with RP present with the loss of their peripheral visual field, and the disease will progress until there is a full loss of vision. Approximately 36,000 cases of simplex and familial RP worldwide are caused by a mutation in the rod-specific cyclic guanosine monophosphate …

Eye-movement control during scene viewing
Eye movements serve as a window into ongoing visual-cognitive processes and can thus be used to investigate how people perceive real-world scenes. A key issue for understanding eye-movement control during scene viewing is the roles of central and peripheral vision, which process information …

The role of EphrinA for the retinotopic map formation in mouse visual cortex
… represents the entire body surface, in the visual system retinal inputs are mapped topographically; i.e. spatial relationships in the visual field are maintained all the way to the primary visual cortex (area 17). The formation of such maps has been shown to depend on specific guidance …

Target eccentricity effects for defensive responses
… actions involving goal-directed responses to visual stimuli presented in different parts of the viewing field commonly include movements either toward (TOWARD) or away from (AWAY) the actual stimulus. One can categorize the type of defensive movements by outcome or the level of …
