Postural Patterns of the Subjects with Vergence Disorders: Impact of Orthoptic Re-education, a Pilot Study

British and Irish Orthoptic Journal, 2018
Aim: Vergence insufficiency is a common oculomotor disorder which causes visual but also general, and even postural symptoms. This study aimed to characterise postural control of subjects with isolated vergence disorder and assess whether orthoptic ...

Effects of PSA removal from NCAM on the Critical Period Plasticity triggered by the Antidepressant Fluoxetine in the visual cortex

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016
Neuronal plasticity peaks during critical periods of postnatal development and is reduced towards adulthood. Recent data suggests that windows of juvenile-like plasticity can be triggered in the adult brain by antidepressant drugs such as Fluoxetine ...

Layer specific regulation of critical period timing and maturation of mouse visual cortex by endocannabinoids

iScience
Summary: Plasticity during the critical period is important for the functional maturation of cortical neurons. While characteristics of plasticity are diverse among cortical layers, it is unknown whether critical period timing is controlled by a common ...

The Role of GABAergic Inhibition in Ocular Dominance Plasticity

Neural Plasticity, 2011
During the last decade, we have gained much insight into the mechanisms that open and close a sensitive period of plasticity in the visual cortex. This brings the hope that novel treatments can be developed for brain injuries requiring renewed plasticity

Collective plasticity of binocular interactions in the adult visual system

Scientific Reports
Binocular visual plasticity can be initiated via either bottom-up or top-down mechanisms, but it is unknown if these two forms of adult plasticity can be independently combined.

Aerobic Exercise Effects on Ocular Dominance Plasticity with a Phase Combination Task in Human Adults

Neural Plasticity, 2017
Several studies have shown that short-term monocular patching can induce ocular dominance plasticity in normal adults, in which the patched eye becomes stronger in binocular viewing.

Light reintroduction after dark exposure reactivates plasticity in adults via perisynaptic activation of MMP-9

eLife, 2017
The sensitivity of ocular dominance to regulation by monocular deprivation is the canonical model of plasticity confined to a critical period. However, we have previously shown that visual deprivation through dark exposure (DE) reactivates critical ...

Subplate neurons: crucial regulators of cortical development and plasticity

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2009
The developing cerebral cortex contains a distinct class of cells, subplate neurons, which form one of the first functional cortical circuits. Subplate neurons reside in the cortical white matter, receive thalamic inputs and project into the developing ...
