Abstract
Effects of dopaminergic drugs (L-dopa plus benserazide or nomifensine) on human visual function have been tested in healthy volunteers by measuring the psychophysical contrast sensitivity for sinusoidal gratings of various spatial frequencies. After drug administration the contrast sensitivity improved in all subjects over a limited range of medium to high spatial frequencies.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
