Visual Snow Is Susceptible to the Motion Aftereffect
Visual snow is susceptible to the MAE, suggesting that the neural activity producing visual snow reaches motion selective neurons involved in perceiving the MAE, which are believed to include V5/MT. If visual snow arises before area V5/MT, our findings suggest this activity is propagated forward through the visual pathways. Pinpointing the neural origins of visual snow may facilitate the development of novel treatment approaches targeting specific visual brain areas or networks.
