Natural Strabismus in Monkeys

This study explores the mechanisms of visual plasticity in monkeys, focusing on strabismus and its impact on grating acuity in children. It highlights the critical period for binocularity, examining the tilt aftereffect and its implications for understanding visual development. Drawing on Hebb's postulate regarding synaptic efficacy, we investigate how repeated neural activity enhances visual processing. The research provides insights into how visual experiences shape neural connections in the cortex, contributing to our understanding of visual disorders and their treatment.
