Chronic 'blindness' following lesions of nonvisual cortex in the monkey.

摘要: Chronic ‘blindness’ was produced in monkeys by a lesion that combined right optic tract section, forebrain commissurotomy, and large cortical ablation the left hemisphere spared most of modality specific visual cortex. The finding suggests that, contrary to implications from earlier studies, central processes can influence behavior only with participation nonvisual
