2021, GenomicsCitation Excerpt :Visual acuity is primarily determined by the density of photoreceptors in the central retina and declines sharply with increasing retinal eccentricity [39,40]. Several lines of evidence suggest that the absolute level of visual acuity does not play a significant role in optical defocus detection and emmetropization because species with different levels of visual acuity ranging from 1.3 cycles per degree (cpd) in fish [41], 0.6–1.4 cpd in mice [42–44], 2.4 cpd in tree shrews [45,46], 2.7 cpd in guinea pigs [47,48], 5 cpd in cats [49,50], 5 cpd in chickens [51,52] and 44 cpd in rhesus monkeys and humans [53–55] undergo emmetropization and can compensate for imposed optical defocus [13–17,56–60]. Interestingly, visual acuity in newborn human infants during first months of life, i.e., when they undergo most active eye emmetropization, remains low, 2.4 cpd in 1-month-old infants gradually increasing to 10–15 cpd in 8-month-olds [55,61,62].
A new, behaving, head restrained, eye movement-controlled feline model for chronic visual electrophysiological recordings
2014, Journal of Neuroscience MethodsCitation Excerpt :The cats were in this position during the experiments. The head- and eye- movements were not controlled (Berkley, 1970; Blake et al., 1974; Franklin et al., 1975). Strecker et al. (1985) used freely moving cats, which were placed in a sound-attenuated behavioral chamber, however, also without eye control.
The effects of time, luminance, and high contrast targets: Revisiting grating acuity in the domestic cat
2013, Experimental Eye ResearchA mechanistic inter-species comparison of spatial contrast sensitivity
2008, Vision ResearchCitation Excerpt :At least six individual species (including the human) can be identified where contrast sensitivity has been measured for this stimulus requirement. These are the macaque (measured for grating sizes of 2 deg (De Valois, Morgan, & Snodderley, 1974) and 6.8 deg (Smith, Harwerth, & Crawford, 1985), humans (measured for a range of grating sizes from 0.5 to 60 deg (Carlson,1982)), the pigeon (grating sizes of 8 and 30 deg (Hodos, Ghim, Potocki, Fields, & Storm, 2002)), the cat (grating sizes of 8 deg (Blake, Cool, & Crawford, 1974), 12 deg (Pasternak & Merigan, 1981) and 19 deg (Bisti & Maffei, 1974)), the hooded rat (grating sizes of 20 and 60 deg (Legg, 1984)), and the goldfish (grating sizes of 20 deg (Northmore & Dvorak, 1979) and 40 deg (Bilotta & Powers, 1991)). The data points in Fig. 2 are contrast sensitivity measurements obtained from these studies.
