Stroke damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) causes a loss of vision known as
hemianopia or cortically-induced blindness. While perimetric visual field improvements can …

Blindness is a common sequela after stroke affecting the primary visual cortex, presenting as
a contralesional, homonymous, visual field cut. This can occur unilaterally or, less …

The incidence of cortically induced blindness is increasing as our population ages. The
major cause of cortically induced blindness is stroke affecting the primary visual cortex …

Background and Purpose: Damage to the adult primary visual cortex (V1) causes vision loss
in the contralateral visual hemifield, initiating a process of trans-synaptic retrograde …

Damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) causes homonymous visual-field loss long
considered intractable. Multiple studies now show that perceptual training can restore visual …

Research has uncovered substantial visual plasticity after occipital strokes, suggesting that
rehabilitative strategies for this condition should be more aggressive. For maximal benefit …

Cortical blindness is a chronic loss of vision following damage to the primary visual cortex
(V1) or its postchiasmal afferents. Such damage is followed by a brief period of spontaneous …

Strong evidence of considerable plasticity in primary sensory areas in the adult cortex, and
of dramatic cross-modal reorganization in visual areas, after short-or long-term visual …

Homonymous visual field loss is a common consequence of stroke and traumatic brain
injury. It is associated with an adverse functional prognosis and has implications on day-to …

Unilateral damage to visual cortex of the parietal or occipital lobe can cause the patient to be
unaware of contralesional visual information due to either hemispatial neglect or …
