Lesions due to stroke or trauma in the occipital lobe cause blindness, which can be complete or restricted to part of the visual field. My work has identified areas of the visual brain that remain active after such lesions. I want to find out if these areas can be used to partially restore vision. This project will study the potential roles of different surviving areas, how brain cells rewire their connections in response to damage, and how rehabilitation programs work at the cellular level.

由于中风或外伤造成的枕叶损伤会导致失明，失明可能是完全的，也可能局限于部分视野。我的工作已经确定了视觉大脑中在这种损伤后仍保持活跃的区域。我想知道这些区域是否可以用来部分恢复视力。这个项目将研究不同幸存区域的潜在作用，脑细胞如何重新连接以应对损伤，以及康复计划如何在细胞水平上发挥作用。
