Popis: Purpose : To detect cortical retinotopy using the functional magnetic resonance imaging technique at clinical circumstances. Methods : Four normal volunteers were examined. Four experiments were performed on each subject: a ‘central-peripheral’ visual field stimulation and an ‘upper-lower’ visual field stimulation, both for right and left visual hemifields. The checkerboard stimuli, presented on a front projection screen, subtended 3 degrees of visual angle in height and 5 degrees in width. Sequential paradigms alternated rest phases with no checkerboard stimulation and stimulation phases. For the ‘central-peripheral’ visual field stimulation, the checkerboard was presented to either the central or peripheral visual field. During the ‘upper-lower’ visual field stimulation, the checkerboard was presented to either the upper or lower visual field. Results : The central visual field stimulation revealed a broad activated area in the contralateral occipital pole, whereas the peripheral visual field stimulatio...
