Saccadic eye movements are one of the sensitive and noninvasive methods to help monitor the cognitive course of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The study aimed to evaluate both pro and anti-saccade longitudinally and the relationship between cognitive functions and eye movements in MCI subgroups and healthy controls (HCs) at a two-year follow-up. This study revealed that the anti-saccade anticipatory responses decreased in amnestic MCI (aMCI). Correct vertical pro-saccades increased in non-amnestic MCI (naMCI), while the express saccades decreased. Our study demonstrated that longer than two years of follow-up is necessary to monitor the course of MCI. Findings of the relationships between longitudinal changes of saccades and cognitive measurements demonstrated the usability of eye movements in evaluating the process of MCI.

Opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by a combination of main symptoms: opsoclonus, myoclonus, ataxia, psychoemotional and behavioral disturbances. OMS can develop in children as a result of immunopathological processes against the background of infectious or oncological pathology and lead to persistent neurological deficit. A case of ten-year observation of paraneoplastic OMS associated with neuroblastoma in a child is presented.

The effect of eye movement desensitization on neurocognitive functioning compared to retrieval-only in PTSD patients: a randomized controlled trial.

BMC Psychiatry

Department of Clinical, Neuro- and Developmental Psychology, Faculty of Behavioral and Movement Sciences, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Background: There is robust evidence that posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with neurocognitive deficits, such as executive dysfunction or memory dysfunction. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based treatment for PTSD, in which eye movements (EMs) are performed during traumatic memory retrieval. We examined whether Eye Movement Desensitization (EMD) improves neurocognitive functioning in PTSD patients, in comparison with a retrieval-only control condition without EMs.

The interplay between motor cost and self-efficacy related to walking across terrain in gaze and walking decisions.

Motor behaviours, like where to step and which path to walk, rely on gaze shifts to gather visual information necessary to decide the next action. Factors influencing both gaze and walking decisions are poorly understood. Here we had people choose between two paths to determine how a person's belief in their ability to walk across different terrains (i.

The study of the cortical basis of reading has greatly benefited from the use of naturalistic paradigms that permit eye movements. However, due to the short stimulus lengths used in most naturalistic reading studies, it remains unclear how reading of texts comprising more than isolated sentences modulates cortical processing. To address this question, we used magnetoencephalography to study the spatiospectral distribution of oscillatory activity during naturalistic reading of multi-page texts.

Serial Dependence in Smooth Pursuit Eye Movements of Preadolescent Children and Adults.

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci

December 2024

School of Psychology and Cognitive Science, East China Normal University, Shanghai, China.

Purpose: Serial dependence refers to the attraction of current perceptual responses toward previously seen stimuli. Despite extensive research on serial dependence, fundamental questions, such as how serial dependence changes with development, whether it affects the perception of sensory input, and what qualifies as serial dependence, remain unresolved. The current study aims to address these questions.
