Functional dynamics of de-afferented early visual cortex in glaucoma

This study uses fMRI to show that in glaucoma, de-afferented visual cortex responses in V1, V2, and V3 shift from negative to positive during task-related conditions, similar to macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa.

Population receptive field and connectivity properties of the early visual cortex in human albinism

The paper investigates visual cortex structure and connectivity in albinism using fMRI and pRF mapping, finding equivalent hemifield representations and altered cortico-cortical connections in V3.
