“Neural wiring in the visual system is not dismantled by visual deprivation. Neural wiring in the visual system is merely deactivated and is capable of being rapidly restored.”

“视觉剥夺，不会破坏大脑视觉中枢的神经通路，神经通路仅仅是暂时被抑制，能够快速恢复。”

“It is often stated that humans with amblyopia cannot be treated beyond a certain age; however, a review of the scientific literature suggests otherwise. There is no clear upper age limit for recover of visual acuity, and there are many studied of improvement in acuity of older people with amblyopia…New clinical and experimental studies in both animals and humans provide evidence for neural plasticity beyond the critical period. The results suggest that perceptual learning is effective in improving a range of visual performance measures and importantly the improvements may transfer to better visual acuity and stereopsis. These findings,along with the results of new clinical trials, suggest that it might be time to reconsider our notions about neural plasticity in amblyopia. ”

“通常认为，超过一定年龄，弱视就无法治愈，然而，一篇综述研究的结论却恰恰相反，视力恢复没有年龄上限。许多文献报道，大龄弱视患者视力仍然能够提高……许多动物和人体试验研究证明，关键期后，大脑神经可塑性依然存在，知觉学习可有效改善视觉功能，帮助提高视力和立体视。我们现在需要重新考虑，弱视大脑神经可塑性的概念。”

Author’s note: It is clear to the scientific community that neural plasticity is a reality and neurological changes in the brain can occur at any age. This must become absolutely clear to all ophthalmologists and optometrists so that they never again tell even one patient that nothing can be done to cure their amblyopia or strabismus.
作者评论：学术界已普遍接受，大脑神经可塑性终身存在，在任何年龄段，大脑神经都可以做出改变。现在，必须让所有眼科医生和眼视光医生，都对此有所了解，这样，他们不会再对患者说，斜弱视由于年龄限制而无法治疗。
“The idea that the brain can change its own structure and function through thought and activity is , I believe, the most important alteration in our view of the brain since we first sketched out its basic anatomy and the workings of its basic component, the neuron.Like all revolutions, this one will have profound effects.”

The Brain That Changes Itself
“大脑可以通过思维活动，改变自身结构和功能，这个观点，是我们在了解大脑基础解剖，以及神经元基本工作后，对大脑认知最重要的转变。就像所有革命性观点一样，这次认知转变将产生深远影响。”
