all of us who are sighted constantly see unspeakable horrors, but our brains are ever so precisely calibrated to filter them out and present a world where life is coherent or even possible.

if that filter fails even slightly, madness is inevitable

Yeah it's specifically congenital cortical blindness and the occipital cortex is the region in the brain most associated with hallucinations to begin with. Traditionally mostly visual hallucinations like in psychedelic experiences, but the visual cortex is still involved in language processing, memory, pattern recognition. Maybe closing off that developmental pathways stops some kind of failure mode between visual processing and auditory hallucinations.

i had no idea. even auditory hallucinations, quite common in schizophrenia, make use of those pathways.

Yeah the "visual" cortex is involved in a huge section of the perceptual bundle, including things like world-building, spatio-temporal construction, and I think identity and self-other boundary formation as well. So it makes sense it would be involved in misprocessing an inner voice as coming from "outside you".
