Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) noninvasively measures human brain
activity at millimeter resolution. Scientists use different approaches to take advantage of the …

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 …

Achromatopsia is a hereditary form of day blindness caused by cone photoreceptor
dysfunction. Affected patients suffer from congenital color blindness, photosensitivity, and …

Brain plasticity refers to the ability of synaptic connections to adapt their function and
structure in response to experience, including environmental changes, sensory deprivation …

Purpose Over the last two decades, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been widely
used in neuroscience research to assess both structure and function in the brain in health …

Background To evaluate the efficacy of MP-3 microperimeter biofeedback fixation training
(MBFT) in vision rehabilitation of low-vision patients affected by macular disease with central …

Better understanding of the extent and scope of visual cortex plasticity following central
vision loss is essential both for clarifying the mechanisms of brain plasticity and for future …

The study of epigenetics has explained some of the 'missing heritability'of age-related
macular degeneration (AMD). The epigenome also provides a substantial contribution to the …

Human studies addressing the long-term effects of peripheral retinal degeneration on visual
cortical function and structure are scarce. Here we investigated this question in patients with …

Microperimetric biofeedback training (MBFT) is a visual rehabilitative strategy based on
fixation stability improvement reinforcing or creating a new preferential fixation locus. The …
