Recovery from optic neuritis: an ROI-based analysis of LGN and visual cortical areas

fiona submitted, created time 1 year 7 months (brain.oxfordjournals.org)

" As the pattern of activation in LOC, V1 and V2 resembled the development in LGN we found no evidence of additional cortical adaptive changes. The reduced activation of the LGN to stimulation of the unaffected eye is interpreted as a shift away from early compensatory changes established in the acute phase in LGN and may indicate very early plasticity of the visual pathways.
