Editorial: Residual vision and plasticity after visual system damage.

B A Sabel

    Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience
    |April 3, 2003
    PubMed
    Summary

    The injured brain retains residual vision, and its plasticity can be enhanced through training and drugs. This can lead to recovery of visual functions previously thought lost.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Ophthalmology
    • Neuroplasticity

    Background:

    • This special issue introduces research on visual system damage, residual vision, and plasticity.
    • Focuses on findings from animal and human studies involving early and adult brain injury.

    Discussion:

    • The visual system exhibits adaptive responses to lesions, promoting spontaneous recovery if residual vision capacity is sufficient.
    • Discusses the impact of drugs and training on visual system plasticity.

    Key Insights:

    • The injured brain possesses significant residual vision.
    • The visual system demonstrates remarkable plasticity in response to damage.
    • Systematic visual training can restore lost visual functions.

    Outlook:

    • Assessing residual vision is crucial for utilizing visual system plasticity.
    • Tailored training paradigms can achieve clinical improvements in visual function.
    • Further research into neuroplasticity holds promise for vision restoration.
