Unilateral amblyopia is a visual disorder that arises after selective disruption of visual input
to one eye during critical periods of development. In the clinic, amblyopia is understood as …

In this chapter we address the phenomena of neural plasticity, operationally defined as the
ability of the central nervous system to adapt in response to changes in the environment or …

The book you are about to read is about research that asks questions like" How do our
senses operate?"" What is the connection between nervous system activity and perception?" …

Purpose.: To determine whether fixation instability contributes to reduced visual acuity in
amblyopia, we compared fixation instability, quantified by the Nidek MP-1 microperimeter, in …

L wenty-five years ago, when my children were small, scientists knew almost nothing about
the development of vision in human infants. William James1 had opined that the infant's …

Amblyopia, a developmental disorder of spatial vision, is thought to result from a cascade of
cortical deficits over several processing stages beginning at the primary visual cortex (V1) …

Experience-dependent plasticity is closely linked with the development of sensory function;
however, there is also growing evidence for plasticity in the adult visual system. This review …

The progressive frontalization of both eyes in mammals causes overlap of the left and right
visual fields, having as a consequence a region of binocular field with single vision and …

We investigated suprathreshold binocular combination in humans with abnormal binocular
visual experience early in life. In the first experiment we presented the two eyes with equal …

Vision develops rapidly during infancy, yet how visual cortex is organized during this period
is unclear. In particular, it is unknown whether functional maps that organize the mature …
