Visual activity enhances neuronal excitability in thalamic relay neurons.

Amblyopia, a highly prevalent loss of visual acuity, is classically thought to result from cortical plasticity. The dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) has long been held to act as a passive relay for visual information, but recent findings suggest a largely underestimated functional plasticity in the dLGN. However, the cellular mechanisms supporting this plasticity have not yet been explored.

The Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) is a widely used self-report measure of subjective well-being, but studies of its measurement invariance across a large number of nations remain limited. Here, we utilised the Body Image in Nature (BINS) dataset-with data collected between 2020 and 2022 -to assess measurement invariance of the SWLS across 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, and age groups (N = 56,968). All participants completed the SWLS under largely uniform conditions.

Optic neuritis (ON) is the inflammation of the optic nerve. 'Typical' ON is commonly associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) and its classic triad includes sudden loss of vision, pain with eye movement and dyschromatopsia. It usually has good visual outcome irrespective of treatment.

Introduction: Color vision deficiency (CVD), a common visual impairment, affects individuals' ability to differentiate between various colors due to malfunctioning or absent color photoreceptors in the retina. Currently available diagnostic tests require a behavioral response, rendering them unsuitable for individuals with limited physical and communication abilities, such as those with locked-in syndrome. This study introduces a novel, non-invasive method that employs brain signals, specifically Steady-State Visually Evoked Potentials (SSVEPs), along with Ishihara plates to diagnose CVD.

Purpose: We present a case of transmuscular migration of a solid encircling silicone band through all four rectus muscles.
Observations: A 33-year-old male with high myopia presented with a progressively worsening subclinical peripheral rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in his left eye. An encircling silicone band (#240) was placed anterior to the equator, and 5-0 polyester sutures (Ethicon, Inc.
