MODULE 6- Deficits Flashcards
damage to the left optic nerve would result in which type of visual field deficit
left EYE visual field deficit
-stereopsis is lost
can an individual with damage to the optic chiasm see in both left + right visual fields
yes
-the central, binocular region of the visual field is intact, but monocular + peripheral vision is lost
if the right visual cortex stops functioning, what part of the visual field will be lost?
left visual field
-not left EYE visual field; projects to right visual cortex (striate cortex)
lesion locations that could result in a contralateral visual field deficit
everything after the optic nerve
-optic chiasm
-optic tract
-LGN
-optic radiation
-primary visual cortex
