TL;DR: Results indicate that a sizeable fraction of the neurons in LOC may have head-based receptive fields, and an extraretinal representation may be useful for maintenance of object coherence across saccadic eye movements, which are an integral part of natural vision.

TL;DR: It is found that visual performance using low-level cues is relatively robust to prolonged deprivation from birth, however, the use of pictorial depth cues to infer 3D structure from the 2D retinal image is highly susceptible to early and prolonged visual deprivation.

TL;DR: The results indicate that newly sighted children who suffered from dense bilateral cataracts from early infancy and were surgically treated only years later are clearly susceptible to long periods of visual deprivation, and suggest that visually guided motor experience is necessary for the development of automatic imitation.

TL;DR: This matching task investigates here, using a matching task, whether the representation of complex natural images is retinotopic or screen-based, and suggests that image matching, which can often be judged without overall recognition of the scene, is mostly determined by neuronal activity in earlier brain areas containing a strictly retInotopic representation and small receptive fields.

TL;DR: In this article, the development of multisensory integration in individuals suffering from congenital dense bilateral cataract, surgically treated years after birth, was studied, and it was shown that these individuals benefited from integrating vision with touch by increasing the precision of size estimates, as occurs when integrating signals in a statistically optimal fashion.
