Corinna M. Bauer

Corinna M. Bauer, PhD, serves as Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School and Assistant Scientist at Massachusetts Eye and Ear, a Harvard-affiliated teaching hospital specializing in ophthalmology and otolaryngology.

Her research centers on cerebral visual impairment (CVI), investigating neural mechanisms through multimodal neuroimaging:

• Structural and functional brain connectivity in CVI
• Thalamic volume reduction and visual dysfunction
• Visuospatial processing deficits and attention network alterations
• Neuroplastic reorganization following early brain injury
• Translational applications for CVI diagnosis and rehabilitation

Analysis of her 2022-2025 publications reveals consistent methodological rigor using fMRI, DTI, and EEG to map structure-function relationships in CVI. Key trends include thalamic-cortical pathway disruptions, differential dorsal/ventral stream recruitment, and impaired functional-structural coupling in attention networks. Her work bridges basic neuroscience with clinical calls to action, notably advocating for improved CVI evaluation frameworks and multinational research coordination.
