Abstract: Dark rearing is known to delay the time course of the critical period for ocular dominance plasticity in the visual cortex. Recent evidence suggests that a period of dark exposure (DE) may enhance or reinstate… read more here.

Abstract: An imbalance in the quality of visual input across the two eyes during development induces amblyopia, a disorder affecting up to 6% of the world's population. In animal models, severe deprivation amblyopia can be induced… read more here.
