Descripteurs : AD6 - MANIFESTATIONS NEUROCOMPORTEMENTALES - FONCTIONS COGNITIVES Résumé anglais : To study the role of the corpus callosum (CC) in midline binocular integration, the effects of late callosotomy and congenital CC agenesis on the ability to perceive dichoptic plaid motion was assessed. Coherent motion was well perceived at all locations in the visual field under dioptic viewing but not along the vertical meridian (VM) when the components were dichoptically presented. This deficit was totally abolished in the agenesis subject and reduced in the callosotomized individual when stimulus size was increased beyond the VM. Electrophysiological correlates were also examined by recording visual evoked potentials and these showed that the P1/N2 components were abnormal for small dichoptic stimuli presented on the midline. These findings attest to the importance of the contribution of CC to midline binocular integration and the effects of cerebral plasticity. Langue : ANGLAIS Identifiant basis : 2004229132 |
