Brain scans reveal how retinal disease rewires neural networks
NCT ID NCT04648124
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses MRI scans to look at how the brain's visual networks change in people with inherited retinal diseases. Researchers will scan 200 patients before and after they receive treatments like retinal implants or optogenetics. The goal is to understand how the brain adapts to vision loss and treatment, not to test a new therapy.
