While humans have an incredible capacity to acquire new skills and alter their behavior as a
result of experience, enhancements in performance are typically narrowly restricted to the …

Visual perceptual learning (VPL) is long-term performance increase resulting from visual
perceptual experience. Task-relevant VPL of a feature results from training of a task on the …

Reports published in Vision Research during the late years of the 20th century described
surprising effects of long-term sensitivity improvement with some basic visual tasks as a …

There is growing evidence that abnormal binocular interactions play a key role in amblyopia.
In particular, stronger suppression of the amblyopic eye has been associated with poorer …

The visual expertise of adult humans is jointly determined by evolution, visual development
and visual perceptual learning. Perceptual learning refers to performance improvements in …

Abnormal visual experience during a sensitive period of development disrupts neuronal
circuitry in the visual cortex and results in abnormal spatial vision or amblyopia. Here we …

Environmental enrichment (EE) is known to profoundly affect the central nervous system
(CNS) at the functional, anatomical and molecular level, both during the critical period and …

The contrast sensitivity function (CSF) predicts functional vision better than acuity, but long
testing times prevent its psychophysical assessment in clinical and practical applications …

Amblyopia is a developmental abnormality that results from physiological alterations in the
visual cortex and impairs form vision. It is a consequence of abnormal binocular visual …

Loss of visual acuity caused by abnormal visual experience during development
(amblyopia) is an untreatable pathology in adults. We report that environmental enrichment …
