The Handbooks of Neurology provide comprehensive summaries of recent research on the brain and nervous system as they relate to clinical neurology. This volume reviews alterations in vision, stemming from the retina to the cortex. Each chapter is co-written by a basic scientist collaborating with a clinician, to provide a solid underpinning of the mechanisms behind the clinical syndromes. The contents conclude with vision therapies and the evidence behind these approaches. Coverage will also include contents on vision and driving, given the large amount of time devoted in clinics to determining who is safe to drive, and research on the interplay between visual loss, attention and strategic compensations that may determine driving suitability. Reviews neurological underpinnings of visual perception disorders Encompasses the cortex to the retina Covers functional organization, electrophysiology, and subcortical visual pathways Discusses assessment, diagnosis and management of visual perception disorders Includes international experts from Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Singapore, UK, and US
