Brain plasticity refers to the remarkable property of cerebral neurons to change their
structure and function in response to experience, a fundamental theoretical theme in the …

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 …

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 …

This review aims to disentangle cause and effect in the relationship between anisometropia
and amblyopia. Specifically, we examine the literature for evidence to support different …

To evaluate the effects of perceptual learning on contrast-sensitivity function and visual
acuity in adult observers with amblyopia, 23 anisometropic amblyopes with a mean age of …

Task-specific improvement in performance after training is well established. The finding that
learning is stimulus-specific and does not transfer well between different stimuli, between …

One major goal in Neuroscience is the development of strategies promoting neural plasticity
in the adult central nervous system, when functional recovery from brain disease and injury …

Recent studies have shown that perceptual learning has the potential to treat amblyopia. In
this study we tested whether a recent perceptual learning technique that improved visual …

Here, we systematically explore the size and spacing requirements for identifying a letter
among other letters. We measure acuity for flanked and unflanked letters, centrally and …

Amblyopia is a developmental abnormality that results in physiological alterations in the
visual cortex and impairs form vision. It is often successfully treated by patching the sound …
