Neuroplasticity refers to the ability of the brain to reorganize the function and structure of its
connections in response to changes in the environment. Adult human visual cortex shows …

The neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) regulates many aspects of cognition, including
attention and memory. Previous research in animal models has shown that plasticity in …

Amblyopia is a neurological disorder of binocular vision affecting up to 3% of the population
resulting from a disrupted period of early visual development. Recently, it has been shown …

Severe amblyopia, characterized by a significant reduction in visual acuity through the
affected eye, is highly resistant to reversal in adulthood. We have previously shown that …

The purpose of the study was to improve the visual functioning of people with restriction in
contrast sensitivity (CS), such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP), by means of a visual training …

Tactile perceptual learning has been shown to improve performance on tactile tasks, but
there is no agreement about the extent of transfer to untrained skin locations. The lack of …

Following the onset of central vision loss, most patients develop an eccentric retinal location
outside the affected macular region, the preferred retinal locus (PRL), as their new reference …

Psychophysical studies on human and non-human vertebrate species have shown that
visual contrast sensitivity function (CSF) peaks at a certain stimulus spatial frequency and …

The model most used to study synaptic plasticity, long‐term potentiation (LTP), typically
employs electrical stimulation of afferent fibers to induce changes in synaptic strength. It …

Purpose Amblyopia is a common childhood condition, which affects 2%–3% of the
population. The efficacy of conventional treatment in amblyopia seems not to be high and …
