Brain cells have the ability to rearrange their connections to create alternate pathways, which compensate for loss of function following brain damage. To understand why some people become blind after damage to the visual cortex, and some don't, we will determine how neural connections change following lesions in different stages of life. The project will provide important information that may allow future development of treatments for blindness due to stroke or traumatic brain injury.

脑细胞有能力重新排列它们的连接，以创造替代途径，弥补脑损伤后的功能丧失。为了理解为什么有些人在视觉皮层受损后失明，而有些人不会，我们将确定在生命的不同阶段，神经连接如何在损伤后发生变化。该项目将提供重要的信息，可能有助于未来开发中风或创伤性脑损伤所致失明的治疗方法。
