Exam 4 -- Complete and Randomized Flashcards
What are the five indications for an EOG?
Retinitis Pigmentosa Siderosis Bulbi Vitelliform Dystrophy (Best Disease) Fundus Favimaculatis (Stargardt Disease) Chloroquine (Plaquenil) Retinopathy
Between apperceptive and associative agnosia, which is more severe?
Apperceptive.
________ stereo cells make up 20% of disparity detectors
Tuned inhibitory (fine)
Fine stereo cells are sensitive to specific disparities, up to what point?
Up to 1 degree.
When tested at 16 cpd, a 70 year old patient will require how much more contrast than a 20 year old patient?
Three times more contrast
What is the resting potential of the front of the eye?
About 6 mV
________ stereo cells make up 50% of disparity detectors
Tuned excitatory (fine)
Blindsight is when a patient is blind but can accurately point to the location of a visual stimulus or report the direction of motion. What is the classic explanation for the location of damage that causes blindsight? Where does the damage more likely occur?
Classic explanation is superior colliculus; reality is probably damage to V1 that leaves spared “islands”.
With an optic nerve disease such as glaucoma, would a focal PERG give a normal or abnormal result?
Abnormal
The Inferior Temporal area (IT) is also known as?
V4
With a macular lesion, would a standard ERG give a normal or abnormal result?
Normal
Hemispatial neglect is usually caused by a lesion in which area of the brain, on which side?
Inferior parietal lobe, right side (so left visual field affected).
What is Usher syndrome?
RP + deafness
Complex cortical cells respond to what kind of stimulus?
Unidirectional movement.
Damage to which area is thought to cause apperceptive agnosia?
Right parietal lobe.
Which of the extra striate cortices is the end of the parvocellular stream?
V4
Comparing a standard scotopic ERG to a normal photopic ERG, which is faster?
Photopic is faster
List each of the stops that information from magno cells in the LGN passes through on its way to V5/MT.
- Layer 4C-alpha in V1
- Layer 4B in V1
- Thick dark stripes in V2
- V5/MT
In amblyopia, would a focal PERG give a normal or abnormal result?
Normal
What are the three clinical applications of an ERG?
Assessing the patency of the retina and choroid, locating the site of damage, and separating damage to rods vs cones
_______________ is a reduction in pereceived object size and can lead to teleopsia.
Micropsia
Projections to the extrastriate area originate in particular from which layers of V1?
Layers 2/3
Comparing a standard scotopic ERG to a normal photopic ERG, which is slower?
Scotopic is slower
True or false: simple and complex cortical cells are sensitive to the length of a stimulus (they have end stops).
True.
