| Abstract | PURPOSE: To quantitatively characterize eye and head oscillations in patients with infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS). METHODS: Vertical and horizontal eye and head position in INS patients were measured simultaneously at a sampling frequency of 500 Hz. Eye and head movements were measured continuously for 180 seconds. The data was calibrated and converted to angular vectors, which were further analyzed with custom software. RESULTS: A total of 10 patients with INS were included: 3 with pseudo-jerk, 3 with pure-jerk, 2 with pseudo-pendular with foveating saccade form of jerk, 1 with bidirectional jerk, and 1 with asymmetric pendular nystagmus waveforms. None of the patients had periodic, aperiodic, or a superimposed latent nystagmus component. Two types of head oscillations were observed: one with a frequency of 1-3 Hz, present in all patients; and another with a frequency range of 5-8 Hz, present in only 7 patients. High-frequency oscillations were episodic, whereas low-frequency oscillations were constantly present. Peak velocity of the high-frequency head oscillations and eye velocity of nystagmus were not correlated, suggesting that these oscillations did not influence foveation. CONCLUSIONS: Two types of head oscillations were found in INS patients: a constant, low-frequency and an episodic, high-frequency. Lack of correlation between the foveation period of nystagmus and peak head velocity during high-frequency oscillations suggests a coexisting pathological phenomenon rather than a compensatory mechanism used to improve the visual acuity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
