fMRI evidence of improved visual function in patients with progressive retinitis pigmentosa by eye-movement training

To evaluate changes in the visual processing of patients with progressive retinitis pigmentosa (RP) who acquired improved reading capability by eye-movement training (EMT), we performed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) before and after EMT. Six patients with bilateral concentric contrac...
