Corinna Bauer
Instructor of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School
Dr. Corinna Bauer is a prominent researcher and educator in the field of neuroscience and ophthalmology. She currently serves as the director of the Lab for Neuroimaging and Vision Science and holds the position of Assistant Professor of Radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital.1 Additionally, she has a secondary appointment as Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at Massachusetts Eye and Ear.1
Dr. Bauer's research focuses on applying advanced neuroimaging techniques to study the long-term neurodevelopmental consequences of early brain injury.1 Her work specifically targets white matter, neural networks, and the thalamus, aiming to understand the relationship between brain structure, function, and myelination with performance on assessments of higher-order visual processing.1
Research Interests
Dr. Bauer's lab is particularly interested in studying cerebral visual impairment (CVI) and related neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative conditions.1 Her current research projects include:
-
Visual perception and attention in CVI: This study aims to characterize deficits in visual perception and attention observed in individuals with CVI, with a particular focus on face perception, recognition, and visual selective attention.1
-
Neuroplastic changes in CVI: This project investigates the neuroplastic changes in brain morphometry, structural connectivity, and functional connectivity that occur in adolescents with CVI and relates these changes to specific visual deficits.1
Recent Publications
Dr. Bauer has published several papers in prestigious journals, contributing significantly to the field of neuroscience and ophthalmology. Some of her recent publications include:
- A study on visuospatial processing in early brain-based visual impairment, published in Cerebral Cortex (2024).1
- A paper proposing a mechanism for visual dysfunction following early brain injury in CVI, published in the Journal of Integrative Neuroscience (2024).1
- Research on face recognition deficits and quality-of-life factors in individuals with CVI, published in Vision (2023).1
Dr. Bauer's work continues to advance our understanding of visual impairments and their neurological underpinnings, contributing to improved diagnosis and rehabilitation strategies for affected individuals.
