| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we used the macaque monkeys with unilateral V1 lesion as an animal model of blindsight, and clarified (1) that visual awareness was actually impaired by showing the reduction in sensitivity of object detection, (2) that the “retina - superior colliculus - pulvinar and lateral geniculate nucleus - extrastriate visual cortices - parietal cortex” pathway underlies blindsight, and (3) that complex cognitive functions are maintained, and (4) neural correlates of the “partial awareness” could be detected in the frontal association cortex.
