Depth Perception and Spatial Vision

Depth Perception and Spatial Vision

Depth perception is the ability to perceive objects three-dimensionally. It relies on two types of cues: binocular and monocular. Binocular cues depend on the combination of images from both eyes and how the eyes work together. Since the eyes are in slightly different positions, each eye captures a slightly different image. This disparity between images, known as binocular disparity, helps the brain interpret depth. When the brain compares these images, it determines the distance to an object.

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Clinical Neurology
Rehabilitation Science

Background:

Verticality perception is essential for maintaining upright posture.
Stroke frequently causes disorders in verticality perception, impacting balance and posture.
Understanding these perceptual biases is key to addressing post-stroke motor deficits.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the significance and findings of measuring verticality perception in stroke patients.
To explore the neural underpinnings of verticality sense and its disruption after stroke.
To discuss the clinical implications and potential rehabilitation strategies for verticality disorders.

Main Methods:

Review of approximately 80 papers published over the last 20 years on verticality after stroke.
Analysis of findings from studies using brain imaging techniques (e.g., fMRI).
Examination of clinical measurements of postural verticality, such as the wheel paradigm.

Main Results:

Brain imaging implicates the posterior lateral thalamus and parietal insular cortex in the internal model of verticality.
Post-stroke verticality biases are common, leading to postural disorders like lateropulsion.
Hemispheric strokes typically cause contralateral verticality misalignment, while brainstem strokes may lead to ipsilesional lateropulsion via tone asymmetry.

Conclusions:

Measuring verticality perception provides insights into brain mechanisms and clinical manifestations of stroke.
Understanding these mechanisms can guide the development of targeted rehabilitation programs.
Somatosensory stimulation shows promise for recalibrating the internal model of verticality and improving posture post-stroke.
