Rehabilitation of visual perception in cortical blindness
EL Saionz, A Busza, KR Huxlin - Handbook of clinical neurology, 2022 - Elsevier
Blindness is a common sequela after stroke affecting the primary visual cortex, presenting as
a contralesional, homonymous, visual field cut. This can occur unilaterally or, less …

Fluoxetine-induced recovery of serotonin and norepinephrine projections in a mouse model of post-stroke depression
A Zahrai, F Vahid-Ansari, M Daigle, PR Albert - Translational psychiatry, 2020 - nature.com
Chronic treatment with fluoxetine (FLX) is required for its antidepressant effects, but the role
of serotonin (5-HT) axonal plasticity in FLX action is unknown. To address this, we examined …

Rehabilitation of cortically induced visual field loss
Research has uncovered substantial visual plasticity after occipital strokes, suggesting that
rehabilitative strategies for this condition should be more aggressive. For maximal benefit …
