Humans with a transient phase of congenital pattern vision deprivation have been observed
to feature prevailing deficits, particularly in higher order visual functions. However, the …

Background: Color vision has been consistently shown to be unaffected in animals that are
raised in dark or in color-deprived environments. However, there are only a few studies that …

Neuroscientific research has consistently shown more extensive non-visual activity in the
visual cortex of congenitally blind humans compared to sighted controls; a phenomenon …

Several studies have attributed certain visual perceptual alterations in older adults to a
likely decrease in GABA (Gamma Aminobutyric Acid) concentration in visual cortex, an …

Numerous previous studies have shown that healthy aging results in increased foveal center
surround contrast suppression when the center and surround patterns are presented to …

Certain perceptual measures have been proposed as indirect assays of brain neurochemical
status in people with migraine. One such measure is binocular rivalry, however, previous …

To clarify the role of sensory experience during early development for adult multisensory
learning capabilities, we probed audiovisual spatial processing in human individuals who had …

Visual input during the first years of life is vital for the development of numerous visual
functions. While normal development of global motion perception seems to require visual input …

Aims/Purpose: Healthy aging alters how the perceived contrast of a pattern is influenced by
its surround. Neural mechanisms underlying this aging effect can be disentangled by …

Healthy ageing alters foveal surround suppression of apparent contrast (FSSAC). The
neural basis of FSSAC is considered to reflect several V1 neuronal receptive field properties. …
