Abstract: Loss of vision is one of the most important challenges for science nowadays and a large amount of work has been done in the development and implant of visual neuroprostheses. The applicability of retinal implants is restricted either because healthy retinal neurons and/or optic nerve are not always available or because of problems related to the retinal implants themselves. At the present alternatives are restricted to cortical prostheses which in turn have several physiological and technical limitations. In our communication we describe a direct proof for the feasibility of subcortical visual prostheses that would solve several of the limitations of the cortical ones. Our approach consists in stimulating the visual cortex of intact animals by means of visual stimuli and then to generate similar responses by means of electrical stimulation of the lateral geniculate nucleus.
