Color Perception - Drug effects
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Color Perception'Mental processing of chromatic signals (COLOR VISION) from the eye by the VISUAL CORTEX where they are converted into symbolic representations. Color perception involves numerous neurons, and is influenced not only by the distribution of wavelengths from the viewed object, but also by its background color and brightness contrast at its boundary. Common names: Color Perception; Color Perceptions; Perception, Color; Perceptions, Color |

Nicotine does not enhance discrimination performance in a temporal bisection procedure.
30 Jan 2009 
Recent reports of selective disruption of stimulus control by drug administration and other disruptive operations in temporal discrimination procedures may be interpreted as a disruption of attention to the temporal sample stimuli. This experiment ... Read more...
Intrauterine cocaine exposure and executive functioning in middle childhood.
22 Dec 2008 
This longitudinal study evaluated whether the level of intrauterine cocaine exposure (IUCE) or the interaction between IUCE and contextual variables was related during middle childhood to executive functioning, as assessed with the Stroop Color-Word ... Read more...
Irreversible color vision losses in patients with chronic mercury vapor intoxication.
29 Apr 2008 This longitudinal study addresses the reversibility of color vision losses in subjects who had been occupationally exposed to mercury vapor. Color discrimination was assessed in 20 Hg-exposed patients (mean age = 42.4 +/- 6.5 years; 6 females and 14 ... Read more...
