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 …

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

Neuroplasticity, ie, the modifiability of the brain, is different in development and adulthood.
The first includes changes in:(i) neurogenesis and control of neuron number;(ii) neuronal …

Population receptive field (pRF) modeling is a popular fMRI method to map the retinotopic
organization of the human brain. While fMRI-based pRF maps are qualitatively similar to …

Eye dominance refers to the preference to use one eye more than the fellow eye to
accomplish a task. However, the dominant eye revealed can be task dependent especially …

While there is evidence that the visual cortex retains a potential for plasticity in adulthood,
less is known about the subcortical stages of visual processing. Here, we asked whether …

The eye's optics are a major determinant of visual perception. Elucidating how long-term
exposure to optical defects affects visual processing is key to understanding the capacity for …

Purpose: Retinitis pigmentosa is a family of genetic diseases inducing progressive
photoreceptor degeneration. There is no cure for retinitis pigmentosa, but prospective …

Binocular vision is created by fusing the separate inputs arriving from the left and right
eyes.'Eye dominance'provides a measure of the perceptual dominance of one eye over the …

The adult visual system was traditionally thought to be relatively hard-wired, but recent
studies have challenged this view by demonstrating plasticity following short-term …
