The occipital lobe contains retinotopic representations of the visual field. The representation
of the central retina in early visual areas (V1–3) is found at the occipital pole. When the …

We describe a compelling demonstration of large-scale developmental reorganization in
the human visual pathways. The developmental reorganization was observed in rod …

Recently, there has been evidence for considerable plasticity in primary sensory areas of
adult cortex. In this study, we asked to what extent topographical maps in human extrastriate …

Symmetry along one or more axes is a key property of objects and biological organisms. We
report on a bilateral visual region of occipital cortex that responds strongly to the presence …

Purpose Over the last two decades, magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) has been widely
used in neuroscience research to assess both structure and function in the brain in health and …

Introduction Macular degeneration (MD) causes central visual field loss. When field defects
occur in both eyes and overlap, parts of the visual pathways are no longer stimulated. …

The neural basis for the effects of color and contrast on perceived speed was examined using
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Responses to S cone (blue–yellow) and L …

The representation of the visual field in early visual areas is retinotopic. The point-to-point
relationship on the retina is therefore maintained on the convoluted cortical surface. Functional …

Neural models of human face perception propose parallel pathways. One pathway (including
posterior superior temporal sulcus, pSTS) is responsible for processing changeable …

Using event-related potentials (ERPs), we investigated the N400 (an ERP component that
occurs in response to meaningful stimuli) in children aged 8–10years old and examined …
