Neuroplasticity is a fundamental property of the nervous system that is maximal early in life,
within the critical period [1–3]. Resting GABAergic inhibition is necessary to trigger ocular …

Binocular rivalry is a powerful tool to study human consciousness [1]: two equally salient stimuli
are imaged on the retinae, but at any given instant only one is consciously perceived, the …

Multisensory integration is a common feature of the mammalian brain that allows it to deal
more efficiently with the ambiguity of sensory input by combining complementary signals from …

Growing evidence indicates a close link between energy metabolism and neural plasticity
as obesity is associated with alterations of cognitive functions, memory, and hippocampal …

Monetary value enhances visual perception and attention and boosts activity in the primary
visual cortex, however, it is still unclear whether monetary value can modulate the conscious …

Neuroplasticity is a fundamental property of the developing mammalian visual system, with
residual potential in adult human cortex [1]. A short period of abnormal visual experience (…

When different images are presented to the eyes, the brain is faced with ambiguity, causing
perceptual bistability: visual perception continuously alternates between the monocular …

The integration of information has been considered a hallmark of human consciousness, as
it requires information being globally available via widespread neural interactions. Yet the …

Over the last 30 years, our understanding of the neurocognitive bases of consciousness has
improved, mostly through studies employing vision. While studying consciousness in the …
