[HTML][HTML] Neuroplasticity in adult human visual cortex
Abstract Between 1-5: 100 people worldwide have never experienced normotypic vision due
to a condition called amblyopia, and about 1: 4000 suffer from inherited retinal dystrophies …

Phantom pain is associated with preserved structure and function in the former hand area
TR Makin, J Scholz, N Filippini… - Nature …, 2013 - nature.com
Phantom pain after arm amputation is widely believed to arise from maladaptive cortical
reorganization, triggered by loss of sensory input. We instead propose that chronic phantom …

Retinal prosthetic strategy with the capacity to restore normal vision
S Nirenberg, C Pandarinath - Proceedings of the National …, 2012 - National Acad Sciences
Retinal prosthetics offer hope for patients with retinal degenerative diseases. There are 20–

Visual prostheses for the blind
After more than 40 years of research, visual prostheses are moving from the laboratory into
the clinic. These devices are designed to provide prosthetic vision to the blind by stimulating …

Stability of sensory topographies in adult cortex
TR Makin, SJ Bensmaia - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2017 - cell.com
Textbooks teach us that the removal of sensory input to sensory cortex, for example,
following arm amputation, results in massive reorganisation in the adult brain. In this opinion …

Revealing the neural fingerprints of a missing hand
The hand area of the primary somatosensory cortex contains detailed finger topography,
thought to be shaped and maintained by daily life experience. Here we utilise phantom …

Response to short-term deprivation of the human adult visual cortex measured with 7T BOLD
Sensory deprivation during the post-natal 'critical period'leads to structural reorganization of
the developing visual cortex. In adulthood, the visual cortex retains some flexibility and …

Stability of motor representations after paralysis
Neural plasticity allows us to learn skills and incorporate new experiences. What happens
when our lived experiences fundamentally change, such as after a severe injury? To …

Learning to see again: biological constraints on cortical plasticity and the implications for sight restoration technologies
The'bionic eye'—so long a dream of the future—is finally becoming a reality with retinal
prostheses available to patients in both the US and Europe. However, clinical experience …
