Modelling: The Oculomotor Systems, Volume 269 in the Progress in Brain Research serial highlights new advances in the field with this new volume presenting interesting chapters on topics including The function and phylogeny of eye movements, The behavior of motoneurons, Statics of plant mechanics, Dynamics of plant mechanics, The functional operation of the vestibulo-ocular reflex, Basic framework of the vestibulo-ocular reflex, Oculomotor signals, Signal processing in the vestibulo-ocular reflex, Plasticity and repair of the vestibulo-ocular reflex, The behavior of the optokinetic system, Models of the optokinetic system, Neurophysiology of the optokinetic system, and much more.
Mathematical Modelling in Motor Neuroscience: State of the Art and Translation to the Clinic. Ocular Motor Plant and Gaze Stabilization Mechanisms, Volume 248, the latest release in the Progress in Brain Research series, highlights new advances in the field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapters on a variety of topics, including Mathematical modeling in clinical and basic motor neuroscience, The math of medicine - the computational lessons learned from the human disease, Mathematical models - an extension of the clinician's mind, From differential equation to linear control systems: the study of the VOR, Closed lop and nonlinear systems, State-space equations and learning, Integrators and optimal control, and much more.
This volume provides a comprehensive look into the innovative methods used to explore the visual system. From the way the brain processes vision, an imperative part of the human experience, to the role eye movement plays in a range of questions concerning visual perception, memory, attention, free will, and even topological diagnoses, this in-depth handbook gives neurologists, ophthalmologists, and neuro-ophthalmologists an invaluable tool to help them better understand the visual system. Disorders of the retinal and cerebral cortex, and those that affect control of eye and lid movements are thoroughly discussed, along with groundbreaking visual rehabilitative methods, and chapters on individual parts of the visual system. Practitioners will find a useful resource that lays out fundamental concepts, while seamlessly summarizing clinical and laboratory methods for neuro-ophthalmological evaluation. The material is perfect for early-stage physicians or long
practicing specialists who wish to learn the latest developments in
the field.
Mathematical Modelling in Motor Neuroscience: State of the Art and Translation to the Clinic, Gaze Orienting Mechanisms and Disease, Volume 249, the latest release in the Progress in Brain Research series, highlights new advances in the field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapters on a variety of topics, including Sequential Bayesian updating, Maps and Sensorimotor Transformations for Eye-Head Gaze Shifts: Role of the Midbrain Superior Colliculus, Modeling Gaze Position-Dependent Opsoclonus, Eye Position-Dependent Opsoclonus in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury, Saccades in Parkinson's disease -- hypometric, slow, and maladaptive, Brainstem Neural Circuits for Fixation and Generation of Saccadic Eye Movements, and much more.
This volume of Progress in Brain Research is based on the
proceedings of a conference, "Using Eye Movements as an
Experimental Probe of Brain Function," held at the Charing Cross
Hospital Campus of Imperial College London, UK on 5th -6th
December, 2007 to honor Professor Jean Buttner-Ennever. With 87
contributions from international experts - both basic scientists
and clinicians - the volume provides many examples of how eye
movements can be used to address a broad range of research
questions. Section 1 focuses on extraocular muscle, highlighting
new concepts of proprioceptive control that involve even the
cerebral cortex. Section 2 comprises structural, physiological,
pharmacological, and computational aspects of brainstem mechanisms,
and illustrates implications for disorders as diverse as
opsoclonus, and congenital scoliosis with gaze palsy. Section 3
addresses how the cerebellum transforms neural signals into motor
commands, and how disease of such mechanisms may lead to ataxia and
disorders such as oculopalatal tremor. Section 4 deals with
sensory-motor processing of visual, vestibular, somatosensory, and
auditory inputs, such as are required for navigation, and gait.
Section 5 illustrates how eye movements, used in conjunction with
single-unit electrophysiology, functional imaging, transcranial
magnetic stimulation, and lesion studies have illuminated cognitive
processes, including memory, prediction, and even free will.
Section 6 includes 18 papers dealing with disorders ranging from
congenital to acquired forms of nystagmus, genetic and degenerative
neurological disorders, and treatments for nystagmus and motion
sickness.
