DESCRIPTION:Macular degeneration (MD) is the most common cause of blindnes
 s in developed countries and results in a significant reduction in quality
  of life. It first causes damage to the outer retinal layers of the eye le
 ading to central visual field loss. Although treatments are under developm
 ent to restore vision\, these assume that the rest of the visual pathway r
 emains intact and functional. I will present evidence that macular degener
 ation leads to structural and functional changes in other parts of the vis
 ual pathways\, as well as more widespread effects on the brain and cogniti
 on.\nSpeakers:\nHeidi Baseler (University of York)
