Two different sets of specimens (as light and dark) each, consisting of 14 (25 × 25 × 6-mm<sup>3</sup>) silicone skin replications, were produced. Four specimens of each set were produced from the same silicon mixture of the relevant set and polymerized simultaneously to provide standardized fabrication conditions. These 4 light/dark specimens were assigned as “baseline color specimens (BCs)” in each set, while the other 10 specimens were produced with a color difference level that increased gradually from BC. These stepped levels were obtained by controlled increasing of the pigment concentration in the relevant baseline silicon mixture. Color difference levels of specimens were calculated by using the CIELAB and CIEDE2000 formulas. Observers comprised of 3 different professional experiences as first-year dental students, interns, and dentists (n = 30/group, gender-balanced) were included. Combinations consisting of 5 specimens with 4 BCs and 1 different color were shown to the observers to assess whether the color difference was perceptible or acceptable. Perceptibility and acceptability percentages were regressed with color difference levels to estimate the best fit curve and confidence intervals were calculated (α = 0.05). The highest estimation of the coefficient of determination (R<sup>2</sup>) was found in the cubic curve for all parameters. A significant difference was found between the light and dark colors. The perceptibility thresholds (Δ<em>E</em>*<em><sub>ab</sub></em>/Δ<em>E<sub>00</sub></em>) were 0.8/0.59 and 2.63/1.75 for light and dark colors, respectively.

A second smaller cohort (3 hemizygotes) were aged extensively (&gt;12 months) to screen for overt abnormalities.

Numerous studies have varied both spatial and temporal aspects of the neon-generating stimulus to explore variations in the strength of the effect. Here, we take a novel, parametric, low-level psychophysical approach to studying NCS in two experiments. In Experiment 1, we test the ability of both cone-isolating and equiluminant stimuli to generate neon color spreading for both increments and decrements in cone modulations. As expected, sensitivity was low to S(hort-wavelength) cone stimuli due to their poor spatial resolution, but sensitivity was similar for the other color directions. We show that when these differences in detection sensitivity are accounted for, the particular cone type, and the polarity (increment or decrement), make little difference in generating neon color spreading, with NCS visible at about twice detection threshold level in all cases. In Experiment 2, we use L-cone flicker modulations (reddish and greenish excursions around grey) to study sensitivity to NCS as a function of temporal frequency from 0.5 to 8 Hz. After accounting for detectability, the temporal contrast sensitivity functions for NCS are approximately constant or even increase over the studied frequency range. Therefore there is no evidence in this study that the processes underlying NCS are slower than the low-level processes of simple flicker detection. These results point to relatively fast mechanisms, not slow diffusion processes, as the substrate for NCS.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23670,"journal":{"name":"Vision Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0042698924001044/pdfft?md5=29a600dbf6e54d99fff28db4fe5a8a7f&pid=1-s2.0-S0042698924001044-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141879557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We evaluated long-term morphological, functional, and vascular alterations in this model. Our results showed that transient ocular hypertension, lasting approximately one week, can lead to progressive increase in optic nerve cupping and retinal ganglion cells loss. Remarkably, the pressure insult caused several vascular changes, such as arteriolar and venular thinning, and permanent choroidal vascular swelling. This study provides evidence of the longitudinal effects of a pressure insult on retinal structure and function using clinical modalities and techniques.

Astrocytes are especially critical in axonal tracts such as the optic nerve, where axons propagate energy-demanding action potentials great distances. In disease, astrocyte remodeling is a dynamic, multifaceted process that is often over-simplified between states of quiescence and reactivity. In glaucoma, axon degeneration in the optic nerve is characterized by progressive stages. So too is astrocyte remodeling. Here, using quantitative analysis of light and electron micrographs of myelinated optic nerve sections from the DBA/2J mouse model of glaucoma, we offer further insight into how astrocyte organization reflects stages of degeneration. This analysis indicates that even as axons degenerate, astrocyte gliosis in the nerve increases without abject proliferation, similar to results in the DBA/2J retina. Gliosis is accompanied by reorganization. As axons expand prior to frank degeneration, astrocyte processes retract from the extra-axonal space and reorient towards the nerve edge. After a critical threshold of expansion, axons drop out, and astrocyte processes distribute more evenly across the nerve reflecting gliosis. This multi-stage process likely reflects local rather than global cues from axons and the surrounding tissue that induce rapid reorganization to promote axon survival and extend functionality of the nerve.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23670,"journal":{"name":"Vision Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0042698924001056/pdfft?md5=1d4b62effc3cecc602bba5a90ead61dc&pid=1-s2.0-S0042698924001056-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141767597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Automated threshold perimetry under dazzling by LED exposure at three different wavelengths (470, 530 and 625 nm) and four different intensities (25, 50, 75, and 100%) was performed in 31 healthy subjects resulting in 434 visual field examinations.

Increasing glare intensities resulted in a significant decrease in mean sensitivity for all wavelengths tested, paralleled by an increase of discomfort glare. The loss of sensitivity was scattered over all quadrants with accentuation of the corresponding mean exposure area. Reconstructed visual fields confirmed visual impairment in all quadrants at an extent of at least 30°. We conclude that even off-axis light exposure may affect central visual field perception.
