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 …

Sensory deprivation during the post-natal 'critical period'leads to structural reorganization of
the developing visual cortex. In adulthood, the visual cortex retains some flexibility and …

Understanding the relationship between changes in sensory perception and
functional/structural changes in the brain is a major endeavor in the field of systems …

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

A few hours of monocular deprivation with a diffuser eye patch temporarily strengthens the
contribution of the deprived eye to binocular vision. This shift in favor of the deprived eye is …

Previous research has shown that ocular dominance can be biased by prolonged attention
to one eye. The ocular-opponency-neuron model of binocular rivalry has been proposed as …

An interlude of dark exposure for about 1 week is known to shift excitatory/inhibitory (E/I)
balance of the mammalian visual cortex, promoting plasticity and accelerating visual …

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 …

It is well known how selective attention biases information processing in real time, but few
work investigates the aftereffects of prolonged attention, let alone the underlying neural …
