Understanding CVI in Children, and Helping Those Affected: With a Focus on Dorsal Stream Sparing and Dysfunction | Presenter: Dr. Gordon Dutton

The aim of this presentation is to help us understand how the two pathways in the brain, the dorsal and ventral streams, can be disordered by injury or dysfunction and the nature of the outcomes.
First a case in which the occipital lobes and ventral stream have been lost will be described. This will show how the dorsal stream works.


Next, cases in which the dorsal stream is disordered but the ventral stream is intact will be shown to illustrate the origin and nature of the resulting experience.
