The functional characterization of callosal connections
2022, Progress in NeurobiologyCitation Excerpt :Similarly, in one human case of SC, stereopsis was still possible, supporting the contribution of the CC to binocularity (Blakemore, 1970). On the other hand, stereopsis turned out to be defective along the visual midline in many split-brain subjects (Mitchell and Blakemore, 1970; Lassonde, 1986; Jeeves, 1991). Taking animal and human evidence together, the CC at the level of the primary visual cortex is implicated in rather “coarse” depth perception along the visual midline.
An fMRI study of visual hemifield integration and cerebral lateralization
2017, NeuropsychologiaCitation Excerpt :Due to the division of neural fibers from the nasal hemiretinae in the optic chiasm and uncrossed fibers from the temporal hemiretinae, sensory information available in each visual hemifield is initially projected to the contralateral occipital lobe and subsequently combined via interhemispheric transfer. In addition to its role in binocular vision (Mitchell and Blakemore, 1970), interhemispheric transfer plays an integral role in word recognition (Brysbaert, 2004; Hunter et al., 2007; Monaghan and Shillcock, 2008), face perception (Bridgman et al., 2014; Hsiao et al., 2008), the detection of mirror symmetry (Herbert and Humphrey, 1996; Saarinen and Levi, 2000) and other forms of perceptual organization (Genç et al., 2011; Pillow and Rubin, 2002). The precise nature of mechanisms involved in the hemispheric integration of foveal input is controversial (Ellis and Brysbaert, 2010), but hemispheric transfer is necessary for the neural integration of all hemifield-split visual input, even within a degree of visual angle from the vertical midline of the visual field (Berlucchi, 2014; Reinhard and Trauzettel-Klosinski, 2003).
Holmes and Horrax (1919) revisited: Impaired binocular fusion as a cause of "flat vision" after right parietal brain damage - A case study
2015, NeuropsychologiaCitation Excerpt :In the literature disorders in depth perception have been associated with lesions of Brodmann areas BA7/19/39, which were all affected in patient EH (Ffytche et al., 2010). However, deficits in depth perception have also been discussed to be ascribed to lesions of U-shaped fibers and the splenium (Ffytche et al., 2010; Danta et al., 1978; Mitchell and Blakemore, 1970). Note that patient EH showed lesion of white matter tracts and the lesion extended to the ventricle.
Effective binocular integration at the midline requires the corpus callosum
2004, NeuropsychologiaSpatial disparity sensitivity in area PMLS of the Siamese cat
2001, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :Indeed, sectioning the corpus callosum of Siamese cats is known to abolish binocularity in the suprasylvian region [50,90]. Several studies have demonstrated the importance of the corpus callosum in a variety of visual functions that draw upon binocular integration, including interhemispheric transfer [51], fusion of the hemifields [14,27] and coarse midline stereopsis [54]. It has also been shown in split-chiams preparations that the callosal route can support disparity sensitivity in a non-negligible proportion of area 17/18 [49] and 19 [28] units.
