purpose. To demonstrate that the relationship between the functional organization of primary
visual cortex (V1) and damage to the optic disc in humans with primary open-angle …

Brain plasticity is the capacity of cerebral neurons to change, structurally and functionally, in
response to experiences. This is an essential property underlying the maturation of sensory …

Purpose.: The purpose of this study was to evaluate fixation location and oculomotor
characteristics of 15 patients with Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) caused by RPE65 …

Late‐stage macular degeneration (MD) often causes retinal lesions depriving an individual
of central vision, forcing them to learn to use peripheral vision for daily tasks. To …

Damage along the visual pathway prevents bottom-up visual input from reaching further
processing stages and consequently leads to loss of vision. But perception is not a simple …

We highlight the results of those studies that have investigated the plastic reorganization
processes that occur within the human brain as a consequence of visual deprivation, as well …

Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is a visual disease that affects elderly population.
It entails a progressive loss of central vision whose consequences are dramatic for the …

Unilateral visual cortex lesions caused by stroke or trauma lead to blindness in contralateral
visual field–a condition called homonymous hemianopia. Although the visual field area …

Visual system is endowed with an incredibly complex organization composed of multiple
visual pathway affording both hierarchical and parallel processing. Even if most of the visual …
