The adult primate visual system comprises a series of hierarchically organized areas. Each
cortical area contains a topographic map of visual space, with different areas extracting …

The dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus (LGN) receives the main outputs of
both eyes and relays those signals to the visual cortex. Each retina projects to separate …

Latent nystagmus (LN) is the by-product of fusion maldevelopment in infancy. Because
fusion maldevelopment-in the form of strabismus and amblyopia-is common, LN is a …

Purpose.: To determine whether fixation instability contributes to reduced visual acuity in
amblyopia, we compared fixation instability, quantified by the Nidek MP-1 microperimeter, in …

Amblyopia, a developmental disorder of spatial vision, is thought to result from a cascade of
cortical deficits over several processing stages beginning at the primary visual cortex (V1) …

Autism has traditionally been regarded as a disorder of the social brain. Recent reports of
differences in visual perception have challenged this notion, but little evidence for altered …

Purpose: Suppression has a key role in the etiology of amblyopia, and contrast-balanced
binocular treatment can overcome suppression and improve visual acuity. Quantitative …

Connections of primary (V1) and secondary (V2) visual areas were revealed in macaque
monkeys ranging in age from 2 to 16 weeks by injecting small amounts of cholera toxin …

We studied the relationship between vascularization and neuronal activity in the visual
cortex during postnatal development in the primate. Analyses were focused on layer IVC that …

The basic sets of cortical connections are present at birth in the primate visual system. The
maintenance and refinement of these innate connections are highly dependent on normal …
