Researchers from the University of San Francisco (UCSF) found that children carrying a variant of the SCN2A gene, which is associated with severe ASD, had a hypersensitive vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR ...

This reflex is easy to provoke. Shake your head and your eyes will stay roughly centered. In mice with the SCN2A variant, however, the researchers discovered that this reflex was unusually sensitive.

On this reflex, monkeys and humans build their slow eye tracking movements with which they keep "an eye" on moving objects. Detecting maldevelopments in the visual system at an early stage ...

Because the vestibulo-ocular reflex could mature without sensory feedback, the researchers theorized that the slowest-maturing part of the brain circuit must set the pace for the development of ...

The researchers also measured eye reflexes triggered by input from the ... The Neuroanatomical Correlates of Training-Related Perceptuo-Reflex Uncoupling in Dancers. Cerebral Cortex, 2013; DOI: 10 ...

In dancers, both the eye reflexes and their perception of spinning lasted a shorter time than in the rowers. Sensory input evokes low-order reflexes of the cerebellum and higher-order perceptual ...

Now, a new study has characterized, for the first time, the neurons of the thalamus and cerebral cortex that respond to stimulation of the ocular surface. Advanced Search Home ...

A simple eye-tracking device might help in the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a developmental disability that impacts how individuals interact and communicate with the world. Researchers ...
