Project Description
Colin Blakemore’s body of work is concerned with many aspects of vision, the early development of the brain and plasticity of the cerebral cortex. He aims to define the developmental errors that underlie cognitive disorders, such as autism, dyslexia and schizophrenia. Another area of his research analyzes the brain’s capacity to reorganize sensory areas of the cortex during selective attention, information integration, and after the onset of blindness. Blakemore also has continuing research devoted to the cellular pathogenesis of Huntington’s disease.
