Regulation of working memory switches from striatal dopamine D2-receptor to D1-receptor neurons under high cognitive load Open
Working memory (WM) is a fundamental cognitive function crucial adaptive behavior. The intricate interplay between the frontal cortex and striatum in governing WM maintenance and updating remains a central question. In this study, we emplo…

40 Hz Light Flickering Promotes Sleep through Cortical Adenosine Signaling Open
Flickering light stimulation has emerged as a promising non-invasive neuromodulation strategy to alleviate neuropsychiatric disorders. However, the lack of a neurochemical underpinning has hampered its therapeutic development. Here, we dem…

Neural representation and modulation of volitional motivation in response to escalating efforts Open
Task‐dependent volitional control of the selected neural activity in the cortex is critical to neuroprosthetic learning to achieve reliable and robust control of the external device. The volitional control of neural activity is driven by a…

A Joint Lateral Motion—Stereo Constraint Open
We report that lateral motion modulates human global depth perception. This motion/stereo constraint is related to motion velocity not stimulus temporal frequency. We speculate that the processing of motion-based stereopsis of the kind rep…

Response of Chinese sea buckthorn clonal growth and photosynthetic physiological mechanisms toward a soil moisture gradient Open
Studies have reported on the regulation of clonal growth in Chinese sea buckthorn in response to environmental resource availability, but these studies have been limited to external mechanisms. In this report, we controlled irrigation to g…

Imbalanced Sensory Eye Dominance of Surgically Aligned Late-onset Acute Acquired Concomitant Esotropes with normal stereopsis Open
Background : Adults with late-onset acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE) have chance to develop normal binocular functions including a balanced ocular dominance before the onset of esotropia. For most patients, strabismus surgery re…

Action Video Gaming Does Not Influence Short-Term Ocular Dominance Plasticity in Visually Normal Adults Open
Action video gaming can promote neural plasticity. Short-term monocular patching drives neural plasticity in the visual system of human adults. For instance, short-term monocular patching of 0.5–5 h briefly enhances the patched eye’s contr…

Inverse occlusion, a binocularly motivated treatment for amblyopia Open
Recent laboratory finding suggest that short-term patching the amblyopic eye (i.e., inverse occlusion) results in a larger and more sustained improvement in the binocular balance compared with normal controls. In this study, we investigate…

The Binocular Balance at High Spatial Frequencies as Revealed by the Binocular Orientation Combination Task Open
How to precisely quantify the binocular eye balance (i.e., the contribution that each eye makes to the binocular percept) across a range of spatial frequencies using a binocular combination task, is an important issue in both clinical and …

Amblyopic Suppression: Passive Attenuation, Enhanced Dichoptic Masking by the Fellow Eye or Reduced Dichoptic Masking by the Amblyopic Eye? Open
We conclude that the reduced dichoptic masking by the amblyopic eye, within the context of normally balanced interocular inhibition, produces the amblyopic suppression at mid to low frequencies.

Neuronal basis of perceptual learning in striate cortex Open
It is well known that, in humans, contrast sensitivity training at high spatial frequency (SF) not only leads to contrast sensitivity improvement, but also results in an improvement in visual acuity as assessed with gratings (direct effect…
