Akinetopsia: a systematic review on visual motion blindness by Johanna L. Browne, Lydia Krabbendam, Jan Dirk Blom, Jan Dirk Blom, Jan Dirk Blom

“…BackgroundAkinetopsia, 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.MethodsWe carried out a systematic review of case descriptions on motion blindness, including those where additional symptoms were described.ResultsOur search yielded data on 25 clinical and 27 experimental cases, the latter induced by cortical stimulation. …”

The effect of abiotic factors on apricot yield in the Southern Urals by F. M. Gasymov

“…Despite the harsh winters, annual shoots of local apricot-trees tended to freeze only to a small degree. Field survey of the apricot plantations showed that generative buds of local apricot cultivars (‘Kichiginsky’, ‘Prizer’, ‘Snezhinsky’ and ‘Uralets’) could withstand frosts of –40... –43°С (2003) only if they were brief, while continuous frosts destroyed them completely (2006, 2010). …”
