Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation does not alter GABA concentration or functional connectivity in the normal visual cortex [PDF]
IntroductionAnodal direct current stimulation (a-tDCS) of the visual cortex is a potential rehabilitation tool for vision disorders such as amblyopia and macular degeneration. However, the underlying neural mechanisms are currently unknown.

Competing neural responses for auditory and visual decisions. [PDF]
Why is it hard to divide attention between dissimilar activities, such as reading and listening to a conversation? We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study interference between simple auditory and visual decisions, independently of ...

Differential roles of auditory and visual cortex for sensory detection in mice
Sensory cortex encompasses the regions of the cerebral cortex that receive primary sensory inputs and is crucial for conscious sensory perception in humans. Yet, some forms of perception are possible without sensory cortex.

Altered Vision-Related Resting-State Activity in Pituitary Adenoma Patients with Visual Damage. [PDF]
To investigate changes of vision-related resting-state activity in pituitary adenoma (PA) patients with visual damage through comparison to healthy controls (HCs).25 PA patients with visual damage and 25 age- and sex-matched corrected-to-normal-vision ...

Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) mediates the effects of enriched environment (EE) on visual cortical development. [PDF]
Enriched environment (EE) has been recently shown to affect visual cortex development and plasticity, and to prevent dark rearing effects. The factors mediating EE effects on visual cortical development and plasticity are still unclear.

Visual cortex cTBS increases mixed percept duration while a-tDCS has no effect on binocular rivalry.
Neuromodulation of the primary visual cortex using anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS) can alter visual perception and enhance neuroplasticity. However, the mechanisms that underpin these effects are currently unknown. When applied to

Visual Motion Coherence Responses in Human Visual Cortex
Random dot kinematograms (RDKs) have recently been used to train subjects with cortical scotomas to perform direction of motion discrimination, partially restoring visual motion perception.

Spatial modulation of visual responses arises in cortex with active navigation
During navigation, the visual responses of neurons in mouse primary visual cortex (V1) are modulated by the animal’s spatial position. Here we show that this spatial modulation is similarly present across multiple higher visual areas but negligible in ...

Attention is inherently biased towards the visual modality during most multisensory scenarios in adults, but the developmental trajectory towards visual dominance has not been fully elucidated. More recent evidence in primates and adult humans suggests a
