10 Days of Darkness Does Not Restore Neural or Visual Plasticity in Adult Cats
(2014-12-11)Recently it was demonstrated that 10-days of darkness could restore visual plasticity and promote fast and complete recovery from amblyopia in juvenile kittens (Duffy and Mitchell, 2013). To test whether 10-days of darkness ... -
Development and Validation of a New Video Extensometer System for Compressive Material Testing
(2016-06-07)Material testing is critical to the development of new alloys, polymers, composites, and other advanced materials. In the last 50 years, the development of video extensometry has made material testing easier than ever ... -
Investigation of NMDA Receptor Subunit Composition in the Developing Cat Visual System Following Brief Immersion in Darkness
(2020-08-11)During early postnatal development, the critical period is a time during which the visual system exhibits robust plasticity, and neural circuitry can be easily modified by changing levels of visually-driven activity. ... -
Latent Impact of Abnormal Visual Experience: Early Abnormal Vision Influences Impact of Subsequent Monocular Deprivation
(2024-02-19)In vision research, monocular deprivation (MD) achieved through eyelid closure is used as a method to replicate the impact of amblyopia in humans and is commonly employed to explore visual system plasticity. Following a ...
