Summary
This paper discusses the brain plasticity in patients with complete achromatopsia, a rare congenital disease that deprives patients from cone cells, and how the cortex reorganizes in response to this.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how the brain reorganizes and adapts in patients with achromatopsia, a condition that affects visual perception.
Eye health: The paper focuses on achromatopsia, a condition that affects the cone cells in the retina, impacting visual perception.
