Frequency. ~2% (children) [ 3] Strabismus is a vision disorder in which the eyes do not properly align with each other when looking at an object. [ 2] The eye that is pointed at an object can alternate. [ 3] The condition may be present occasionally or constantly. [ 3] If present during a large part of childhood, it may result in amblyopia, or ...
Stereopsis. Stereopsis (from Ancient Greek στερεός ( stereós) 'solid' and ὄψις (ópsis) 'appearance, sight') is the component of depth perception retrieved through binocular vision. [ 1] Stereopsis is not the only contributor to depth perception, but it is a major one. Binocular vision happens because each eye receives a different ...
A 2-D model of cortical sensory homunculus. A cortical homunculus (from Latin homunculus 'little man, miniature human' [1] [2]) is a distorted representation of the human body, based on a neurological "map" of the areas and proportions of the human brain dedicated to processing motor functions, and/ or sensory functions, for different parts of the body.
Holonomic brain theory is a branch of neuroscience investigating the idea that human consciousness is formed by quantum effects in or between brain cells. Holonomic refers to representations in a Hilbert phase space defined by both spectral and space-time coordinates. [1] Holonomic brain theory is opposed [citation needed] by traditional ...
The lateralization of brain function (or hemispheric dominance[ 1][ 2] / latralisation [ 3][ 4]) is the tendency for some neural functions or cognitive processes to be specialized to one side of the brain or the other. The median longitudinal fissure separates the human brain into two distinct cerebral hemispheres, connected by the corpus callosum.
Functional integration (neurobiology) Functional integration is the study of how brain regions work together to process information and effect responses. Though functional integration frequently relies on anatomic knowledge of the connections between brain areas, the emphasis is on how large clusters of neurons – numbering in the thousands or ...
Simplified diagram of frontal cortex to striatum to thalamus pathways. There are five defined frontostriatal circuits: motor and oculomotor circuits originating in the frontal eye fields are involved in motor functions; while dorsolateral prefrontal, orbital frontal, and anterior cingulate circuits are involved in executive functions, social behavior and motivational states. [2]
When one eye is misaligned, the brain continues to see two images rather than the combined image. In a young child, the brain learns to see only the image from the eye pointed ahead, ignoring the ...
