Visual Cortex Plasticity Following Peripheral Damage To The ...
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov › 27542799Over the last two decades, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become a powerful research method to investigate cortical visual plasticity. Abnormal fMRI response patterns have been occasionally detected in the visually deprived cortex of patients with bilateral retinal diseases. Contro ….

Properties of place cell firing after damage to the visual cortex
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov › 12270054Hippocampal place cells were recorded while rats with lesions of the striate visual cortex foraged for food pellets in a cylindrical arena. Compared to control rats, rats with striate damage had place cells whose firing was less well organized in space, according to a measurement of spatial coherence. More importantly, the spatial location of firing fields in rats with striate lesions was poorly controlled by three-dimensional objects, unlike the fields of either normal sighted rats or early ...
