Approximately one-third of patients with stroke exhibit persistent disability after the initial
cerebrovascular episode, with motor impairments accounting for most poststroke disability …

Recent work has transformed our ideas about the neural mechanisms, behavioral
consequences and effective therapies for amblyopia. Since the 1700′ s, the clinical …

Artificial neural networks suffer from catastrophic forgetting. Unlike humans, when these
networks are trained on something new, they rapidly forget what was learned before. In the …

Tinnitus, the most common auditory disorder, affects about 40 million people in the United
States alone, and its incidence is rising due to an aging population and increasing noise …

White matter tissue properties are highly correlated with reading proficiency; we would like
to have a model that relates the dynamics of an individual's white matter development to …

Neuronal plasticity in the brain is greatly enhanced during critical periods early in life and
was long thought to be rather limited thereafter. Studies in primary sensory areas 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 …

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 …

Plasticity in the brain reaches far beyond a mere changing of synaptic strengths. Recent time-
lapse imaging in the living brain reveals ongoing structural plasticity by forming or breaking …

The visual cortex has the capacity for experience-dependent change, or cortical plasticity,
that is retained throughout life. Plasticity is invoked for encoding information during …
