There is substantial interest in using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)
retinotopic mapping techniques to examine reorganization of the occipital cortex after vision …

Plasticity appears to be a ubiquitous property of nervous systems, regardless of
developmental stage or complexity. In the visual system of higher mammals, perceptual …

Better understanding of the extent and scope of visual cortex plasticity following central
vision loss is essential both for clarifying the mechanisms of brain plasticity and for future …

Enhancing reading ability in peripheral vision is important for the rehabilitation of people
with central-visual-field loss from age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Previous …

Throughout the lifespan, the cerebral cortex adapts its structure and function in response to
changing sensory input [1, 2]. Whilst such changes are typically adaptive, they can be …

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

Low vision is any type of visual impairment that affects activities of daily living. In the context
of low vision, we define plasticity as changes in brain or perceptual behavior that follow the …

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 …

Perceptual filling-in occurs when structures of the visual system interpolate information
across regions of visual space where that information is physically absent. It is a ubiquitous …

Human primary visual cortex is organized retinotopically, with adjacent locations in cortex
representing adjacent locations on the retina. The spatial sampling in cortex is highly …
