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 …

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. While the …

Plasticity appears to be a ubiquitous property of nervous systems, regardless of developmental
stage or complexity. In the visual system of higher mammals, perceptual plasticity has …

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, …

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, …

… For comparison purposes, we also included data from six patients trained in the Huxlin
laboratory at the Flaum Eye Institute of the University of Rochester with the same behavioral …

Astrocytes, a class of glia which appear in the mammalian retina late in development, have
been postulated either to originatein situ from Müller cells or extra-retinally from the optic …

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 occur …

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 …

… We performed a retrospective analysis of Humphrey visual fields (HVFs) from patients with
chronic CB trained using the Huxlin discrimination paradigm, with performance measured …
