Visual texture recognition in patients with cerebrovascular disease and dementia

抄録

Texture is one of the key perceptions that enable to comprehend the nature of multimodal signals from the environment according to their type and condition and convert them into a logical output in the central nervous system. Neuroimaging and some clinical studies have proven the importance of the ventral visual pathway in visual texture recognition. Although Alzheimer’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies are believed to cause visual impairments, texture visualization has not been sufficiently investigated. In this paper, the author provides an overview of human visual texture sensation and focuses on texture recognition disorders in patients with cerebrovascular disease and dementia.
