Abstract
En 中文
Despite decades of research; the neural basis of visual distortions in amblyopia remains poorly understood. While numerous studies have reported abnormalities in both early visual cortex and extrastriate areas; these findings have rarely been integrated into a unified mechanistic framework. This review addresses that gap by proposing a dual-level model of cortical distortion in amblyopia: one level reflecting local feature encoding deficits in V1; and a second reflecting integration-level distortions in retinotopic extrastriate cortex. By synthesizing behavioral; neurophysiological; and imaging data from adult human studies as well as animal models; this review offers a coherent neurophysiological account of amblyopic visual distortions and outlines a framework for interpreting current findings and guiding future interventions.
