Neuroplasticity in Vision Science
Understanding the Brain’s Adaptive Power Abstract Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to adapt and reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. In vision science, this concept is crucial in understanding how the visual system recovers from injuries, adapts to sensory deficits, and enhances visual perception through training. This blog explores the mechanisms of neuroplasticity in the visual system, its role in recovery from visual impairment, and its implications for future research and clinical applications. Introduction : The human brain is not a static entity; rather, it continuously evolves in response to environmental stimuli. Neuroplasticity refers to the capacity of the nervous system to reorganize itself, allowing for functional adaptations. The visual system, an integral part of human perception, also exhibits this plasticity, enabling rehabilitation in cases of visual impairment and improving visual acuity through ...
