Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is recovery from optic neuritis associated with a change in the distribution of cerebral response to visual stimulation : a functional magnetic resonance imaging study?
Answer: The extraoccipital areas that were activated in patients all have extensive visual connections, and some have been proposed as sites of multimodal sensory integration. The results indicate a functional reorganisation of the cerebral response to simple visual stimuli after optic neuritis that may represent an adaptive response to a persistently abnormal input. Whether this is a necessary part of the recovery process remains to be determined.
Output (English): yes
