Visual experience triggers the formation of a web of neural connections in different brain areas in order to make sense of the world – and in particular, of feedback connections, which send ...

At birth, infant visual cortex connectivity resembles that of blind adults, while lifetime visual experience enhances long-range functional connectivity between visual cortices, sensorimotor systems, ...

The idea that low-quality visual input might be beneficial for development grew out of studies of children who were born blind but later had their sight restored. An effort from Sinha's laboratory, ...

Visual experience triggers the formation of a web of neural connections in different brain areas in order to make sense of the world—and in particular, of feedback connections, which send information ...

The visual system is hierarchically organised into different areas. The lower visual areas see small parts of the visual field, and they are sensitive to very simple features, such as edges and their ...
