Thesis
Understanding degeneration and the capacity for reorganisation in the adult human visual cortex
- Abstract:
-
Stargardt Macular Dystrophy (STGD1) causes degeneration of the photoreceptors, predominantly constrained to the cones within the central retina, which causes a loss of high acuity vision within the central visual field. Due to the topographic organisation of the primary visual cortex (V1), photoreceptor degeneration starting in the central retina projects to a focal region within posterior V1. There are treatments in development that aim to restore loss at the retina, however the majority ...
