Motion-onset visual-evoked potentials as a function of retinal eccentricity in man / Ljudmila SCHLYKOWA in Cognitive Brain Research, 1-3 (October 1993)

Public ISBD [article]  inCognitive Brain Research > 1-3 (October 1993) . - p.169-174 Titre : Motion-onset visual-evoked potentials as a function of retinal eccentricity in man Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ljudmila SCHLYKOWA, Auteur ; Bob W. VAN DIJK, Auteur ; Walter H. EHRENSTEIN, Auteur Année de publication : 1993 Article en page(s) : p.169-174 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Visual-motion Visual-evoked-potential Retinal-eccentricity Cortical-magnification-factor Man Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Visual-evoked potentials were elicited by the motion-onset of a black-and-white square-wave grating of 2.4 cycles/deg that drifted from right to left at a velocity of 3 deg/s. The center of the 2x2 deg stimulus field was binocularly viewed either foveally or at eccentricities of 6, 12, or 20 deg in the lower visual field along the vertical meridian. Peak-to-peak amplitudes P1-N2 and N2-P2 were found to decrease non-linearly as a function of eccentricity. The VEP-amplitudes were standardized by setting each foveal value to 100%, and a relative measure was derived for peripheral values given by the ratio of the peripheral to the foveal values. The decrease of the relative VEP-values with eccentricity was significantly smaller than that of the relative cortical magnification factor of striate cortex in man, whereas it agreed fairly well with that of the relative point-image size of the area MT in Macaque monkey. In this respect, the motion-onset VEP is distinct from the pattern-reversal VEP, the amplitude of which decreases much more rapidly with retinal eccentricity; hence, it may involve different generating structures of the brain.
