[HTML][HTML] Stereopsis and amblyopia: A mini-review

DM Levi, DC Knill, D Bavelier - Vision research, 2015 - Elsevier
Amblyopia is a neuro-developmental disorder of the visual cortex that arises from abnormal
visual experience early in life. Amblyopia is clinically important because it is a major cause …

[HTML][HTML] Rethinking amblyopia 2020

DM Levi - Vision research, 2020 - Elsevier
Recent work has transformed our ideas about the neural mechanisms, behavioral
consequences and effective therapies for amblyopia. Since the 1700′ s, the clinical …

[HTML][HTML] Imaging retinotopic maps in the human brain

BA Wandell, J Winawer - Vision research, 2011 - Elsevier
A quarter-century ago visual neuroscientists had little information about the number and

Lynx1, a cholinergic brake, limits plasticity in adult visual cortex

H Morishita, JM Miwa, N Heintz, TK Hensch - Science, 2010 - science.org
Experience-dependent brain plasticity typically declines after an early critical period during
which circuits are established. Loss of plasticity with closure of the critical period limits …

The relationship between anisometropia and amblyopia

BT Barrett, A Bradley, TR Candy - Progress in retinal and eye research, 2013 - Elsevier
This review aims to disentangle cause and effect in the relationship between anisometropia
and amblyopia. Specifically, we examine the literature for evidence to support different …

New concepts concerning the neural mechanisms of amblyopia and their clinical implications

AMF Wong - Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2012 - Elsevier
Amblyopia is a visual impairment secondary to abnormal visual experience (eg, strabismus,
anisometropia, form deprivation) during early childhood that cannot be corrected …

[HTML][HTML] Subcortical amygdala pathways enable rapid face processing

MM Garvert, KJ Friston, RJ Dolan, MI Garrido - NeuroImage, 2014 - Elsevier
Human faces may signal relevant information and are therefore analysed rapidly and

Deficient binocular combination reveals mechanisms of anisometropic amblyopia: signal attenuation and interocular inhibition

CB Huang, J Zhou, ZL Lu, Y Zhou - Journal of vision, 2011 - jov.arvojournals.org
Amblyopia is a developmental disorder that results in deficits of monocular and binocular
vision. It is presently unclear whether these deficits result from attenuation of signals in the …

Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation transiently improves contrast sensitivity and normalizes visual cortex activation in individuals with amblyopia

DP Spiegel, WD Byblow, RF Hess… - … and neural repair, 2013 - journals.sagepub.com
Background. Amblyopia is a neurodevelopmental disorder of vision that is associated with
abnormal patterns of neural inhibition within the visual cortex. This disorder is often …
