Self-face recognition is a vital aspect of self-referential processing, which is closely related to affective states. However, neuroimaging research on self-face recognition in adults with major depressive disorder is lacking. This study aims to inve...

Background: Traumatic brain injury frequently leads to visual dysfunction, affecting up to 75% of patients. These visual issues, if unrecognized, can significantly impair daily functioning. Optometrists are well-positioned to identify and manage such...
