What role does the Pulvinar play in visual plasticity? If you’re curious, check out our new preprint!
The pulvinar regulates plasticity in human visual cortex
In normally sighted human adults, two-hours of monocular deprivation is sufficient to transiently alter ocular dominance. Here we show that this is associated with a reduction of functional connectivi...

“Human V4 size predicts crowding distance”.
@jankurzawski.bsky.social, now Assistant Professor at U Maastricht, led a big effort over a few years. We used individual differences in object recognition and the size of brain maps to identify a perceptual bottleneck.

Human V4 size predicts crowding distance - Nature Communications
Across 49 observers, we found large variations in crowding distance and retinotopic map size. These measures covary, conserving a 1.4-mm cortical crowding distance in the human V4 map. This links the ...
