Cranial nerves continue intact, including the extraocular eye movements being intact without nystagmus. Visual fields are full in both eyes. He had no papilledema or atrophy of either optic disc. Pupils react from 4 down to 2 mm, bilaterally brisk and round to light and accommodation. He continues to have good strength with normal bulk and tone throughout his extremities.
I would imagine the frustrations and anger towards seeing things flat or not at all would take over and cause me to slide into depression, similarly to my friend. When I had first learned of Bill’s sight loss I found myself, even then as attempting to complete tasks with my eyes closed. I wanted only a glimpse of what life was like with no vision and found that I was lacking greatly in memory. I was unable to find things I had just placed down and therefore grew annoyed. Similar to those times I practiced daily life with one eye covered.
In his book The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Trials, Oliver Sacks accounts some interesting encounters with his patients (or “clients” as he believes is a more respectable term to call them). He has organized his collection of case studies by the neurologic disorder themes of the clients: Losses, Excesses, Transports, and the World of the Simple. The first part of the book is a collection of neurological disorders that Sacks categories as losses, or deficits. He describes their difference from typical deficits, as they originated in the right-hemisphere of the brain rather than left-hemisphere and have not been studied as much.
My occipital lobe is working as I am examining the various trains to determine which move to make next. Parietal Lobes- After loosing, I smack the table with my hand out of frustration. I feel the pain shoot through my body.
If the occipital lobe was removed or injured, we would not be able to accurately process what we
= responsible for sensory information from the body, also where letters are formed, putting things in order and spatial awareness Occipital lobe = responsible for processing information related to vision Cerebrum lobe = biggest part of the Brain its role is memory, attention, thought, and our consciousness, senses and movement
I have yet to be officially diagnosed with this disorder, but I began to show symptoms of this disorder a few years ago. First, I developed almost complete night blindness. After that, I eventually began to notice that certain colors did not look the same as I remembered them. This disorder is genetic, but I will not discover if I carry the gene until I have children, which is terrifying. The possibility of going blind is not something that anyone should have to think about or go through.
It is a degenerative brain disease with a strong link to head trauma. CTE is caused by a progressive buildup of the tau protein which
Cognitive blindness can be described as
It develops from the rapid acceleration or deceleration of the brain within the skull, and its effects are usually accompanied by a bevy of physical, cognitive, and emotional signs and symptoms that make

Everybody has probably ever experienced it: you are focusing on one thing and then miss something else completely that is happening at the exact same spot as you were focusing on. The term for this observation is inattentional blindness (IB), which means that you are being blind to something that you are not paying attention to (Mack & Rock, 1998). To study this phenomenon, a person should be given an attention-demanding task and during this task an unexpected stimulus should show up. If this person confirms he or she has not seen the stimulus, IB has occurred (Mack & Rock, 1998). For example, a classic and well-known study about IB showed participants a movie of people playing basketball and asked the participants to count the amount of passes
It is the loss of accommodative ability of the lens from 15 dioptres in early childhood to 1 dioptres before the age of 65. This results in difficulty carrying out nearby tasks. It is similar to hypermetropia but it occurs with age. Presbyopia occurs because the lens becomes thicker and hardens with age and therefore loses flexibility. These changes occur in the proteins in the lens which is what causes it to become less elastic over time.
(1991) reported two patients GD and VA from whom they argued for a separation between an apperceptive prosopagnosia and an associative type of the condition. GD performed better on tests involving memory for famous faces compared to perceptual tasks. On the other hand, VA had the reverse deficit; he performed more poorly on memory tasks than perceptual tasks. VA 's case can be explained similarly to LH: perceptual processing was reasonably unimpaired, so VA 's difficulty with faces can be considered as an associative deficit. GD, however, had a perceptual problem which means the facial deficit may be caused by perceptual
Figure-ground perception has evolved from the Gestalt school of thought. Its definition is Figure–ground organization is a type of perceptual grouping which is a vital necessity for recognizing objects through vision. History of Gestalt Psychology Perceptual organisation is a construct of the Gestalt School of thought. Gestalt theory was first developed in the early 1900s by Austrian and German psychologists. Some of the notable founders of Gestalt theory include Max Wertheimer, and Kurt Koffka.
