Over the last 35 years or so, there has been substantial progress in revealing and
characterizing the many interesting and sometimes mysterious sensory abnormalities that …

The nature of the neural basis of amblyopia is a matter of some debate. Recent
neurophysiological data show correlates of amblyopia in the spatial properties of neurons in …

The site of the amblyopic deficit has been keenly sought for the past half century.
Controversy has raged concerning whether it is retinal or cortical. Neurophysiologists and …

purpose. The understanding of the site and nature of the cortical processing deficit in human
amblyopia awaits the resolution of three fundamental questions about which there is, at …

In the past five years, substantial progress has been made in our knowledge of the neural
basis of amblyopia. Recent advances based on animal models are described, along with …

Humans with amblyopia have a well-documented loss of sensitivity for first-order, or
luminance defined, visual information. Recent studies show that they also display a specific …

In this investigation contrast threshold measurements are compared with supra-threshold
perception for a group of human amblyopes. The results indicate that human amblyopia …

Within the last five years, there have been a number of exciting new advances in our
knowledge and understanding of amblyopia. This article reviews recent psychophysical …

Contrast threshold measurements have extended our perspective of human amblyopia by
focusing our attention on the perception of objects larger than the resolution limit. This …

The effect of reducing background luminance on contrast thresholds for different forms of
amblyopia was investigated. As expected from previous acuity studies strabismic and …
