Disease relevance of Flicker Fusion

 

Psychiatry related information on Flicker Fusion

  • The effects of alprazolam (0.125 mg) taken twice a day on several cognitive and performance tasks (Pictures test, Digit-Symbol Substitution Test, Choice Reaction Time [CRT], Critical Flicker Fusion [CFF]) were investigated in healthy students [3].
  • Short- and long-term memory (paired words associate and pictures test), psychomotor performances (critical flicker fusion frequency, choice reaction time, digit symbol substitution test), and postural sway were evaluated before and 1.5, 4, 6, and 8 h after the administration of a single dose of zolpidem (10 mg), triazolam (0.25 mg), and placebo [4].
  • Plasma concentrations of zopiclone and psychometric tests, including simple and complex reaction time, and critical flicker fusion threshold, were performed at regular intervals after drug administration [5].
 

High impact information on Flicker Fusion

  • Nicotine also improved the ability of DAT patients to detect a flickering light in a critical flicker fusion test [6].
  • Modulation of the critical flicker fusion effects of serotonin reuptake inhibitors by concomitant pupillary changes [7].
  • Ro 15-1788 dose dependently blocked the deficit in secondary memory produced by lorazepam, but also showed monotonic dose-related antagonism of its effects on indices of sedation (with the exception of the critical flicker fusion deficit, which was unaffected) [8].
  • The performance of the chronic BZ users did not differ significantly from age- and sex-matched anxious subjects, except that critical flicker fusion (CFF) thresholds were lower and subjective ratings of tranquilization were higher in the BZ users [9].
  • On all five performance assessments (choice reaction times, serial subtraction times, critical flicker fusion values), there was a consistent tendancy for clobazam performance to be comparatively better under high stress, and for placebo performance to be comparatively better under low stress [10].

Biological context of Flicker Fusion

 

Associations of Flicker Fusion with chemical compounds

  • Measurements on day 2 showed that some tolerance had developed to the diazepam-induced impairment of reactive and coordinative skills, but not to its effects on flicker fusion or on the extraocular muscle balance [20].
  • Meperidine impaired reactive skills for as long as 3 hours and flicker-fusion discrimination and coordinative skills for as long as 12 hours [21].
  • After 30 min the p-deletion and critical flicker fusion scores were still impaired in the midazolam, but not in the propofol, group [22].
  • Quetiapine, but not haloperidol, reduced subjective alertness and critical flicker fusion frequency [23].
  • Critical flicker fusion was significantly increased in subjects on temazepam [24].
