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

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 …

The visual system can regulate its sensitivity depending on the prevailing contrast
conditions. This is known as contrast adaptation and reflects contrast gain changes at …

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 …

Recent laboratory findings suggest that short‐term patching of the amblyopic eye (ie, inverse
occlusion) results in a larger and more sustained improvement in the binocular balance …

Deprivation of visual information from one eye for a 120-minute period in normal adults
results in a temporary strengthening of the patched eye's contribution to binocular vision …

Highlights•The major effect of long-term adaptation to a colored lens or illuminant is to
restore the world to its previous appearance.•-This adaptation to color grows stronger over …

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 …

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

The ocular dominance shift observed after short-term monocular deprivation is a widely
used measure of visual homeostatic plasticity in adult humans. Binocular rivalry and …
