The psychotomimetic effects of short-term sensory deprivation.

29 Sep 2009 People experiencing sensory deprivation often report perceptual disturbances such as hallucinations, especially over extended periods of time. However, there is little evidence concerning short-term sensory deprivation and whether its effects differ ... Read more...

Optimal compliance for amblyopia therapy: occlusion with a translucent tape on the lens.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate that optimal compliance to amblyopia therapy and a better visual outcome can be achieved by occluding the lens over the preferred eye with a translucent tape. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective study of amblyopic children. ... Read more...

A critical period for activity-dependent synaptic development during olfactory bulb adult neurogenesis.

21 Sep 2009 New neurons integrate in large numbers into the mature olfactory bulb circuit throughout life. The factors controlling the synaptic development of adult-born neurons and their connectivity remain essentially unknown. We examined the role of ... Read more...
