Previous studies have shown that engagement in even a single session of exercise can improve cognitive performance in the short term. However, the underlying physiological mechanisms contributing to this effect are still being studied. Recently, with improvements to advanced quantitative neuroimaging techniques, brain tissue mechanical properties can be sensitively and noninvasively measured with magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) and regional brain mechanical properties have been shown to reflect individual cognitive performance.

Patients were enrolled in a clinical trial in which atropine 1% solution or occlusion with an adhesive patch was administered daily to the sound eye of children 3 to less than 7 years of age for a period of at least 6 months to a maximum of 2 years. Refractive error at entry and at 2 years was determined with cycloplegic retinoscopy for 282 of 419 patients enrolled.

Methods: Of 1272 patients recorded to have amblyopia in the eye center computer, 280 met inclusion criteria of first visit under age 10 years and had treatment instituted and visual acuities recorded then and at follow-up visits.
