Motor fusion
Motor fusion Changing the vergence of the two eyes so that images that fall on different points in the two retinas come to fall upon corresponding places in the central retinas. As opposed to Sensory Fusion.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Central
In anatomy and medicine (as elsewhere), central is the opposite of "peripheral" which means away from the center.
Fusion
The union and integration of the instincts and drives so that they complement each other and help the organism to deal effectively with both internal needs and external demands.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
Motofen
Motofen is a prescription or over-the-counter drug which is (or once was) approved in the United States and possibly in other countries. Active ingredient(s): atropine sulfate; difenoxin hydrochloride.
Motofen half-strength
Motofen half-strength is a prescription or over-the-counter drug which is (or once was) approved in the United States and possibly in other countries. Active ingredient(s): atropine sulfate; difenoxin hydrochloride.
Motor neuron disease
Diseases characterized by a selective degeneration of the motor neurons of the spinal cord, brainstem, or motor cortex. Clinical subtypes are distinguished by the major site of degeneration. In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis there is involvment of upper, lower, and brainstem motor neurons. In progressive muscular atrophy and related syndromes the motor neurons in the spinal cord are primarily affected. With progressive bulbar palsy, the initial degeneration occurs in the brainstem. In primary lateral sclerosis, the cortical neurons are affected in isolation.
Motor Neurone Disease
Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a term used to cover a number of illnesses of the motor neurone. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Progressive Muscular Atrophy (PMA), Progressive Bulbar Palsy (PBP) and Progressive Lateral Sclerosis (PLS) are all types of MND. MND is the term used internationally while ALS is often used in the United States (where it is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease) to cover all forms of MND. It was first described by Jean-Martin Charcot, a French neurologist, in 1869.
Motor skills
Motions carried out by the combination of the brain, nervous system, and muscles.
PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
Monocular zone
The areas of the visual field from which light projects only to one of the eyes. See also Binocular Zone.
Monoptic stimulation
When only one eye views an image (the other eye being closed or occluded). See also Binoptic Stimulation and Dichoptic Stimulation.
Morphology (of a neuron)
The form and structure of a neuron including its dendritic field, cell body and axonal projections.
Motion capture
Occurs when features (such as random dot patterns) with no net motion of their own appear to move in sychrony with other salient moving features.
Motion parallax
Movement of the image of an object over the retina. The rate of movement depends upon the velocity of the object relative to the eye and its distance from the eye.
Motor fusion
Movement agnosia
selective loss of motion perception without loss of any other perceptual capability. Occurs after bilateral damage in the cortex of Middle Temporal Area(MT) or Medial Superior Temporal Area(MST).
Medial superior temporal area (MST)
Seems to be involved in visually tracking moving target. Projects along with Middle Temporal Area (MT) to the dorsolateral pontine nuclei in the brain stem.
Middle temporal area
Characterized by strong motion-directionally sensitive neurons with large receptive fields organized into columns. Some neurons respond to the whole rather than the component motion of moving plaid patterns. Implicated in the analysis of movement, and stereoscopic depth. Receives input from layer 4B in V1 and thick stripes in V2. Projects to Medial Superior Temporal Area (MST).
Meningocoele
Hernial protrusion of meninges.
Malposition
Faulty or abnormal position of a part of the body.
