▶ Despite abnormal V1 input, normal hit rates in a visuo-motor task in human albinism. ▶ Abnormal lateralisation patterns not only in V1, but also in higher visual areas. ▶ Largely normal lateralisation patterns in motor and somatosensory cortices. ▶ Abnormal visual representation integrated for mot...
