Neuroscience of Visual Impairment

Only one second is needed for our brain to process what we are viewing. The so-called ventral-temporal cortex, often known as the visual brain, is the area of our brain that is capable of organising these visual findings so swiftly. It has been discovered that blind persons also use the visual brain's map. Each group is recognised differently by their visual brain. This implies that despite not having any visual information, blind persons also use this portion of the brain to distinguish between categories.
