Previous research has shown atrophy of visual cortex can occur in retinotopic representations of retinal lesions resulting from eye disease. However, the time course of atrophy cannot be established from these cross-sectional studies, which included patients with longstanding disease of varying severity. Our aim, therefore, was to measure visual cortical structure over time in participants after onset of unilateral visual loss resulting from AMD.
