The Fine-Scale Functional Correlation of Striate Cortex in Sighted and Blind People
Open accessAbstract
To what extent are spontaneous neural signals within striate cortex organized by vision? We examined the fine-scale pattern of striate cortex correlations within and between hemispheres in rest-state BOLD fMRI data from sighted and blind people. In the sighted, we find that corticocortico correlation is well modeled as a Gaussian point-spread function across millimeters of striate cortical surface, rather than degrees of visual angle. Blindness produces a subtle change in the pattern of fine-scale striate correlations between hemispheres. Across participants blind before the age of 18, the degree of pattern alteration covaries with the strength of long-range correlation between left striate cortex and Broca's area. This suggests that early blindness exchanges local, vision-driven pattern synchrony of the striate cortices for long-range functional correlations potentially related to cross-modal representation.

There was good agreement between predicted phosphene locations based on presurgical analysis and the reported locations of evoked phosphenes.
“There was also a good agreement between predicted phosphene locations based on our presurgical analysis (refs. 22, 23; yellow area in Figure 5A) and the reported locations of the evoked phosphenes (blue dots with electrode numbers in Figure 5A).”

The Introduction and Discussion describe using cortical anatomy to predict retinotopic positions in blind and sighted people, which supports the basis for predicting visual-field locations. The paper does not report presurgical phosphene predictions, evoked phosphenes, or agreement between predicted and reported locations; that agreement is presented as the citing authors’ own finding.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
