Macular degeneration (MD), the leading cause of visual impairment in the developed world,
damages the central retina, often obliterating foveal vision and severely disrupting everyday …

We previously reported large-scale reorganization of visual processing (ie, activation of
“foveal” cortex by peripheral stimuli) in two individuals with loss of foveal input from macular …

Recent work has shown that foveal cortex, deprived of its normal bottom-up input as a result
of macular degeneration (MD), begins responding to stimuli presented to a peripheral retinal …

Purpose.: Activity in regions of the visual cortex corresponding to central scotomas in
subjects with macular degeneration (MD) is considered evidence for functional …

Purpose: Neural evidence exists for cortical reorganization in human visual cortex in
response to retinal disease. Macular degeneration (MD) causes the progressive loss of …

Purpose When individuals with central vision loss due to macular degeneration (MD) view
stimuli in the periphery, most of them activate the region of retinotopic cortex normally …

We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to assess abnormal cortical signals in
humans with juvenile macular degeneration (JMD). These signals have been interpreted as …

The occipital lobe contains retinotopic representations of the visual field. The representation
of the central retina in early visual areas (V1–3) is found at the occipital pole. When the …

Retinal lesions caused by eye diseases such as glaucoma and age-related macular
degeneration can, over time, eliminate stimulation of parts of the visual cortex. This could …

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), affecting the retina, afflicts one out of ten people
aged 80 years or older in the United States. AMD often results in vision loss to the central 15 …
