New Delhi, May 10 (Ians) A team of international researchers, including from the Indian Institute of Technology (Iit) Delhi, has found evidence of brain structures that underlie sight recovery in people born blind, and may help treat the condition.
The team included 23 congenitally blind patients (aged 7-17 years) from Uttar Pradesh with dense bilateral cataracts, who received cataract surgery at different stages of adolescence.
The findings, published in the journal The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (Pnas), showed that improvements in visual functions are linked to changes in white matter pathways, which connect neurons in different brain regions.
The team studied many pathways, but only those involved in high-order visual functions, such as face recognition, were directly linked to the visual improvement.
Moreover, researchers saw that the patient’s amount of change in late visual pathways, specifically the posterior callosum forceps, predicted the amount of behavioural improvement. This is...

Abu Dhabi, March 10 (Ians) A team of researchers has identified that a person's ability to detect visual cues may help predict the severity of motion sickness symptoms.
They study, published in the journal Entertainment Computing, indicated that, specifically, discomfort was due to a specific sensory cue called motion parallax, which is defined as the relative movement of different parts of the environment.
"As we tested sensitivity to sensory cues, a robust relationship emerged. It was clear that the greater an individual's sensitivity to motion parallax cues, the more severe the motion sickness symptoms," said researcher Bas Rokers from New York University, Abu Dhabi.
"It is our hope that these findings will help lead to the more widespread use of powerful virtual reality (VR) technologies by removing barriers that prevent many people from taking advantage of its potential," Rokers added.
For the study, the team used VR headsets to simulate visual...
