The primary visual cortex (V1) is the first cortical area that processes visual information.
Normal development of V1 depends on binocular vision during the critical period, and age …

The human primary visual cortex (V1) development is pivotal to understanding cortical
maturation and neuroplasticity. Theories on V1 development range from early maturation …

Both, pharmacological and genome-wide association studies suggest N-methyl-D-aspartate
receptor (NMDAR) dysfunction and excitatory/inhibitory (E/I)-imbalance as a major …

The idea that visual coding and perception are shaped by experience and adjust to changes
in the environment or the observer is universally recognized as a cornerstone of visual …

Recent evidence indicates that inhibition within the visual cortex is greater in older than
young adults. Increased inhibition has been associated with reduced visual cortex plasticity …

Amblyopia is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by functional deficits in the
visual cortex. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is the most commonly used …

Cocaine exposure induces plasticity of glutamatergic synapses of medium spiny neurons
(MSNs) in the nucleus accumbens (NAc), which has been proposed to contribute to its …

Introduction Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) refers to brain damage in
newborns caused by hypoxia and reduced or even stopped cerebral blood flow during the …

Purpose: Amblyopia is one of the most common childhood disease. The average prevalence
of amblyopia in children is estimated at 2-5%. It arises during the child development until the …

Vertebrate behavior is strongly influenced by light. Light receptors, encoded by functional
opsin proteins, are present inside the vertebrate brain and peripheral tissues. This …
