Temporal visual processing deficits in post concussion syndrome.

ABSTRACT: Post-concussive (PCS) motion hypersensitivity represents a common sequela of mild traumatic brain injury. This study investigated whether PCS alters visual temporal resolution thresholds in psychophysical measures that sustain motion detection. Fifteen PCS patients and fifteen age-matched controls underwent critical flicker fusion (CFF) threshold assessments across visual-field eccentricities. A Generalized linear mixed model tested group differences in CFF thresholds, treating eccentricity as a repeated factor and including CFF variability as a covariate. Pupil measurements and catch trials controlled for fatigue and alertness. Nonparametric correlations assessed relationships among time from injury, symptom severity, and CFF measures. Results showed CFF variability heightening CFF thresh
