We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.
You can help! If you notice any innacuracies, please

Plasticity of Extrastriate Cortex in Adult Primates
The hypothesis that extrastriate visual areas in mature monkeys have the capacity to extensively reorganize retinotopically and functionally after partial lesions of V1 will be evaluated. Chronically implanted microelectrode arrays will be used in MT to determine the time course and occurrence (if any) of recovery of the response properties of single neurons after partial lesions of V1. Possible outcomes include: 1) abolished or reduced responsiveness that does not recover; 2) recovery with reactivation depending on inputs from the remaining portion of V1; 3) reactivation depending on LGN or superior colliculus relays to extrastriate cortex; or 4) some combination of these alternatives. The possibilities of reorganization or enhanced use of preserved pathways have major implications for clinical studies and patient therapies. Cortical reorganization may account for behavioral recoveries after limited lesions of MT (Newsome and Pare, 1988), Yamasaki and Wurtz, 1991), blindsight after extensive lesions of V1 (Weiskrantz, 1996), and perceptual errors (e.g. Ramachandran and Gregory, 1991). The chronic array study will be supplemented with standard microelectrode maps of MT several months after lesions of half of V1 or half of MT. These experiments will allow us to more accurately determine how much MT retinotopically reorganizes, if at all, after such lesions.
