Blindsight: post-natal potential of a transient pulvinar pathway
Abstract
More vision is preserved after removal of primary visual cortex in infant than adult primates. A recent study suggests that this is due to the preservation of a retina-to-pulvinar-to-cortex pathway that normally regresses during development.
