Blindsight relies on a functional connection between hMT+ and the lateral geniculate nucleus, not the pulvinar by Ajina, Sara, Bridge, Holly

“…When the primary visual cortex (V1) is damaged, the principal visual pathway is lost, causing a loss of vision in the opposite visual field. While conscious…”

Subcortical pathways to extrastriate visual cortex underlie residual vision following bilateral damage to V1 by Ajina, Sara, Bridge, Holly

“…Residual vision, or blindsight, following damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) has been investigated for almost half a century. While there have been many…”

Motion area V5/MT+ response to global motion in the absence of V1 resembles early visual cortex by Ajina, Sara, Kennard, Christopher, Rees, Geraint, Bridge, Holly

“…Motion area V5/MT+ shows a variety of characteristic visual responses, often linked to perception, which are heavily influenced by its rich connectivity with…”

Human blindsight is mediated by an intact geniculo-extrastriate pathway by Ajina, Sara, Pestilli, Franco, Rokem, Ariel, Kennard, Christopher, Bridge, Holly

“…Although damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) causes hemianopia, many patients retain some residual vision; known as blindsight. We show that blindsight…”
