The present study examined the role of exogenous and endogenous attention in task
relevant visual perceptual learning (TR-VPL). VPL performance was assessed by examining …

Microperimetric biofeedback training (MBFT) is a visual rehabilitative strategy based on
fixation stability improvement reinforcing or creating a new preferential fixation locus. The …

Behavioral alterations emerging after central or peripheral vision loss suggest that cerebral
reorganization occurs for both the afferented and deafferented early visual cortex (EVC). We …

Background It is estimated that approximately 1.3 billion people live with some form of
distance or near visual impairment. Numerous studies have been carried out to evaluate the …

Neuroscientists have long debated the adult brain's capacity to reorganize itself in response
to injury. A driving model for studying plasticity has been limb amputation. For decades, it …

Lesions of striate cortex (V1) trigger massive retrograde degeneration of neurons in the
LGN. In primates, these lesions also lead to scotomas, within which conscious vision is …

Introduction Macular degeneration (MD) can cause a central visual field defect. In a previous
study, we found volumetric reductions along the entire visual pathways of MD patients …

Highlights•Cortical remapping of receptive fields occurs following peripheral lesions in
adult.•Cortical reorganization has a rapid onset and continues for several weeks to months.• …

Purpose.: Patients with macular disease often report experiencing metamorphopsia (visual
distortion). Although typically measured with Amsler charts, more quantitative assessments …

Phantom limb pain (PLP) following amputation, which is experienced by the vast majority of
amputees, has been reported to be relieved with daily sessions of mirror therapy. During …
