Brief description Damage to the visual areas of the brain is common after, for example stroke, neurotrauma or hypoxia. The injury often manifests in the form of a scar caused by a specific type of brain cell (astrocyte). This scar acts as a barrier to the cells which transmit information (neurones), preventing re-establishment of connectivity, thus functional recovery. We will see if we can reduce this scar and enhance re-connectivity after injury by blocking some of the molecules that brain cells express.
