Restoring Sight to the Blind: Effects of Structural and Functional Plasticity

Noelle Stiles

May 21, 2025

Visual restoration after decades of blindness is now becoming possible by means of retinal and cortical prostheses, as well as emerging stem cell and gene therapeutic approaches. After restoring visual perception, however, a key question remains. Are there optimal means and methods for retraining the visual cortex to process visual inputs, and for learning or relearning to “see”? Up to this point, it has been largely assumed that if the sensory loss is visual, then the rehabilitation focus should also be primarily visual. However, the other senses play a key role in visual rehabilitation due to the plastic repurposing of visual cortex during blindness by audition and somatosensation, and also to the reintegration of restored vision with the other senses. I will present multisensory neuroimaging results, cortical thickness changes, as well as behavioral outcomes for patients with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), which causes blindness by destroying photoreceptors in the retina. These patients have had their vision partially restored by the implantation of a retinal prosthesis, which electrically stimulates still viable retinal ganglion cells in the eye. Our multisensory and structural neuroimaging and behavioral results suggest a new, holistic concept of visual rehabilitation that leverages rather than neglects audition, somatosensation, and other sensory modalities.

Defining new multimodal neuroimaging marker for grey matter characterization

The human cortical ribbon varies during the lifespan, from childhood to senescence. To study the effects of genetic and environmental factors on these dynamics, one needs to measure specific phenotypes (cortical volume, surface area, thickness, new neuroimaging phenotypes such as intracortical myelination or multimodal ones based on their combination, or their asymmetries) that characterize the cerebral grey matter accurately
