Visual Cortex Plasticity

Visual Cortex Plasticity is a neurobiological construct representing the capacity of the primary visual cortex to reorganize its functional architecture and synaptic connectivity in response to visual experience or deprivation during critical periods of development, particularly underlying adaptive or maladaptive changes in visual processing as observed in conditions such as amblyopia associated with strabismus.
