Visual evoked potentials from seven horizontally spaced electrodes were recorded from normal subjects and subjects with homonymous hemianopia in response to hemifield pattern flash stimulation. Stimulation produced a large early peak that was positive on the scalp contralateral to the hemifield and negative on the ipsilateral scalp. From computer fitting of the amplitudes versus electrode position, the position of the equivalent source was found to be in the contralateral hemisphere. The horizontal orientation of the dipole source was approximately tangential (parallel) to the occipital scalp surface with negative polarity toward the medial fissure. In normal subjects, visual evoked potential amplitudes at the first peak were positive on the left and negative on the right for right hemifield stimulation. Left hemifield stimulation showed the opposite results. Three patients with homonymous hemianopia showed normal visual evoked potential results from their functional hemifields and nearly flat results from their hemianopic hemifields. The normal visual evoked potentials originated in their intact cortical hemispheres.

Development and validation of a radiomics-visual evoked potential nomogram for preoperative prediction of visual outcome after endoscopic craniopharyngioma resection.

Objective: Craniopharyngiomas are rare, benign brain tumors that are primarily treated with surgery. Although the extended endoscopic endonasal approach (EEEA) has evolved as a more reliable surgical alternative and yields better visual outcomes than traditional craniotomy, postoperative visual deterioration remains one of the most common complications, and relevant risk factors are still poorly defined. Hence, identifying risk factors and developing a predictive model for postoperative visual deterioration is indeed necessary.

Background And Hypothesis: Sequential saccade planning requires corollary discharge (CD) signals that provide information about the planned landing location of an eye movement. These CD signals may be altered among individuals with schizophrenia (SZ), providing a potential mechanism to explain passivity and anomalous self-experiences broadly. In healthy controls (HC), a key oculomotor CD network transmits CD signals from the thalamus to the frontal eye fields (FEF) and the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) and also remaps signals from FEF to IPS.

Sensory evoked potentials (EPs), namely, somatosensory, visual, and brainstem acoustic EPs, are used in neurosurgery to monitor the corresponding functions with the aim of preventing iatrogenic neurological complications. Functional deficiency usually precedes structural defect, being initially reversible, and prompt alarms may help surgeons achieve this aim. However, sensory EP registration requires presenting multiple stimuli and averaging of responses, which significantly lengthen this procedure.

Nostalgic scenes can trigger nostalgia to a considerable extent and can be effectively used as a nostalgic trigger that contributes to the psychological comfort of the elderly and immigrant populations, but a design system has not been adequately studied. Therefore, the design principles and digital twin (DT) design system of nostalgic scenes is proposed in this study. It focuses on the construction of a nostalgic scene DT model based on the system of system (SoS) theory.

Purpose: Astigmatism can lead to meridional amblyopia, an orientation-specific visual deficit. This study investigated the effects of astigmatism on meridional anisotropy in contrast sensitivity (CS) and steady-state visual evoked potential (ssVEP) across a range of spatial frequencies.
Methods: Thirty-two young adults with a best-corrected distance visual acuity of logMAR 0 or better were categorized into two groups: highly astigmatic (HAS, = 16) with spherical-equivalent error (SE) ≥ -6.
