Akinetopsia: a systematic review on visual motion blindness.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Akinetopsia, or visual motion blindness, is a perceptual distortion characteristic of Alice in Wonderland syndrome in which people see moving objects as disjointed 'jumps' or 'freeze frames.' Despite its profound impact, the condition remains poorly understood beyond the established centrality of cortical area V5/MT in visual motion perception.

Methods

We carried out a systematic review of case descriptions on motion blindness, including those where additional symptoms were described.

Results

Our search yielded data on 25 clinical and 27 experimental cases, the latter induced by cortical stimulation. Of the clinical cases, 12% showed hemiakinetopsia, 50% continuous or progressive symptoms, and 52% a chronic course. Pathophysiologically, in right-handed indi
