The human brain is not a passive organ simply waiting to be activated by external stimuli.
Instead, we propose that the brain continuously employs memory of past experiences to …

Background Visual field defects are estimated to affect 20% to 57% of people who have had
a stroke. Visual field defects can affect functional ability in activities of daily living (commonly …

Purpose: Adult brain plasticity, although possible, is often difficult to elicit. Training regimens
in adults can produce specific improvements on the trained task without leading to general …

There is experimental evidence of trans-synaptic retrograde degeneration of retinal ganglion
cells following retrogeniculate visual pathway lesions in primate studies. Retinal nerve fibre …

Damage to the adult, primary visual cortex (V1) causes severe visual impairment that was
previously thought to be permanent, yet several visual pathways survive V1 damage …

Vision loss after retinal or cerebral visual injury (CVI) was long considered to be irreversible.
However, there is considerable potential for vision restoration and recovery even in …

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 …

Damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) or its immediate afferents results in a dense
scotoma, termed cortical blindness (CB). CB subjects have residual visual abilities, or …

Blindsight and vision for action seem to be exemplars of unconscious visual processes.
However, researchers have recently argued that blindsight is not really a kind of …

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 …
