AI Article Synopsis

  • Six years post-Vision and Change discussions, the focus is on assessing how widely the initiative has been adopted.
  • Some parts of the biology community show strong evidence of utilizing these principles.
  • However, there is a noticeable lack of implementation and awareness in other areas of the biology field.

Article Abstract

Six years after the initial Vision and Change conversations, it is important to try to determine the extent of dissemination and implementation of the initiative. There is good evidence of use by some segments of the biology community; however, there is less use of Vision and Change principles or even acknowledgment of its existence within other segments.

Psychophysical assessment of color vision with the Cambridge Color Vision Test in unilateral functional amblyopia.

Arq Bras Oftalmol

January 2025

Research Nucleus in Neuroscience and Behavior and Applied Neuroscience, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.

Purpose: Amblyopia is a cortical neurological disorder caused by abnormal visual experiences during the critical period for visual development. Recent works have shown that, in addition to the well-known visual alterations, such as changes in visual acuity, several perceptual aspects of vision are affected. This study aims to analyze and compare the effects of different types of amblyopia on visual color processing and determine whether these effects are correlated with visual acuity.

Prevalence and Clinical Associations of Peripapillary Hyperreflective Ovoid Mass-like Structures in Craniosynostosis.

J Neuroophthalmol

January 2025

Department of Ophthalmology (JGJ-C, TE, Y-HC, LRD, RAG), Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts; Frank H. Netter Medical School (JGJ-C), North Haven, Connecticut; and Department of Anesthesiology (DZ), Critical Care and Pain Medicine, Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts.

Background: Patients with craniosynostosis are at high risk of developing elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) causing papilledema and secondary optic atrophy. Diagnosing and monitoring optic neuropathy is challenging because of multiple causes of vision loss including exposure keratopathy, amblyopia, and cognitive delays that limit examination. Peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures (PHOMS) are an optical coherence tomography (OCT) finding reported in association with papilledema and optic neuropathy.

Age-related hand motor impairments may critically depend on visual information though few studies have examined eye movements during tasks of hand function in older adults. The purpose of this study was to assess eye movements and their association with performance while tracing on a touchscreen in young and older adults. Eye movements of 21 young (age 20-38 years; 12 females, 9 males) and 20 older (65-85 years; 10 females, 10 males) adults were recorded while performing an Archimedes spiral tracing task, a common clinical assessment sensitive to age-associated impairments in hand function.

Aging and word predictability during reading: Evidence from eye movements and fixation-related potentials.

Atten Percept Psychophys

The use of context to facilitate the processing of words is recognized as a hallmark of skilled reading. This capability is also hypothesized to change with older age because of cognitive changes across the lifespan. However, research investigating this issue using eye movements or event-related potentials (ERPs) has produced conflicting findings.
