This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), supports a research project titled "Development of Human Dorsal Visual Cortex." The $476,451 award, which runs from March 1, 2025 to February 28, 2030, aims to map the structural and functional development of the dorsal visual stream in the human brain across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. The research team at Princeton University will leverage functional MRI, quantitative MRI, neuroanatomical mapping, and video game-based experiments to produce developmental atlases of the dorsal visual stream and determine how its functional maturation impacts visuospatial attention and behavior. This work seeks to fill a critical gap in the neuroscience of vision by establishing a normative model of how a major visual processing pathway develops, which can help characterize visual disorders resulting from atypical dorsal stream development.
