The local office of The Texas Math & Science Hotline relayed the following
question to me. As I don't have any information on a specific clinical
entity that could be described as "motion blindness", I am putting this on
the CVNet for general comment.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some questions have come into our office regarding motion blindness, and
we were wondering if you might have any information on this subject. The
complete questions are:"I would like to find out more information on motion
blindness. What part of the brain is most affected? What causes it and is
there a cure? What percentage of the general population has this diesease?"
The person asking the questions is a high school biology teacher.

I will pass your replies back to the TM&SH office. Thanks for your help!
