Lead Researcher: Krystel Huxlin
Stroke is the main cause of damage to the part of the brain that processes visual information from the eyes. This can lead to vision loss even when there is no damage to the eyes. The purpose of this research is to better understand how people compen...
Lead Researcher: Krystel Huxlin
We will measure structural and mechanistic aspects of progressive degeneration along the early visual pathways, correlating them with changes in visual performance, and in responsiveness to visual restoration training. This project will advance both ...
