Abstract Between 1-5: 100 people worldwide have never experienced normotypic vision due
to a condition called amblyopia, and about 1: 4000 suffer from inherited retinal dystrophies …

Brain plasticity refers to the ability of synaptic connections to adapt their function and
structure in response to experience, including environmental changes, sensory deprivation …

Population receptive field (pRF) modeling is a popular fMRI method to map the retinotopic
organization of the human brain. While fMRI-based pRF maps are qualitatively similar to …

While there is evidence that the visual cortex retains a potential for plasticity in adulthood,
less is known about the subcortical stages of visual processing. Here, we asked whether …

Neuroplasticity, ie, the modifiability of the brain, is different in development and adulthood.
The first includes changes in:(i) neurogenesis and control of neuron number;(ii) neuronal …

Eye dominance refers to the preference to use one eye more than the fellow eye to
accomplish a task. However, the dominant eye revealed can be task dependent especially …

The adult human visual system maintains the ability to be altered by sensory deprivation.
What has not been considered is whether the internal neural states modulate visual …

Neuroplasticity is maximal during development and declines in adulthood, especially for
sensory cortices. On the other hand, the motor and prefrontal cortices retain plasticity …

There is compelling evidence from animal models that physical exercise can enhance visual
cortex neuroplasticity. In this narrative review, we explored whether exercise has the same …

Brief periods of monocular deprivation significantly modify binocular visual processing. For
example, patching one eye for a few hours alters the inter-ocular balance, with the …
