The pulvinar is instrumental in the development of visual cortical networks [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr James Bourne (Principal investigator) ,  Dr David Leopold ,  Prof Gary Egan

Brief description This Project will elucidate the mechanisms and brain structures involved in visual system development and how their perturbation in early life can lead to neurodevelopmental and cognitive brain disorders, such as Williams and fragile-X syndromes as well as dyslexia. Furthermore, it will demonstrate how the visual brain has a greater capacity to compensate and achieve preservation of vision following an injury in early life.
