Funded Activity Summary

We recently discovered that an evolutionary ancient brain pathway transmits visual signals for blue-yellow colour vision. We now plan to discover whether this pathway could also contribute to form and movement perception, and to visual functions (called blindsight) that survive damage to the main visual area of the brain. This project will contribute to understanding the effects of damage to visual pathways following stroke or brain injury, as well as to understanding normal visual function.
