DESCRIPTION:Damage to the primary visual cortex leads to loss of the visua
 l field contralateral to the damaged cortex. However\, in spite of this lo
 ss\, some patients are still able to detect visual information about stimu
 li presented within their blind field. A growing area of research aims to 
 exploit this residual visual function to try to improve visual performance
  through rehabilitation programmes stimulating the blind field. However\, 
 to optimise such programmes it is important to understand the pathways thr
 ough which this information is conveyed. \n\nHere I will present a series 
 of functional magnetic resonance imaging studies in which we attempted to 
 elucidate these pathways in a group of hemianopic patients\, some with\, a
 nd some without\, residual vision.
