The paper investigates how task-relevance and perceptual salience of visual signals affect excitatory processing in early visual areas and modulate visual perceptual learning.

The paper investigates how GABAergic inhibition in parietal cortex aids in tracking visual targets amidst distractors, showing that increased GABA and decreased glutamate correlate with better tracking performance.

The paper compares neuronal mechanisms of learning a visual task between patients with body dysmorphic disorder and healthy individuals, finding substantial differences in brain activation patterns.

Children learn more efficiently than adults due to faster stabilization of learning with rapid GABA boosting after training.

This study uses DecNef to show that unconscious exposure-based visual perceptual learning occurs in V1/V2 without conscious perception of motion.

This study shows that providing both correctness and location feedback during training enhances perceptual learning for detecting mammographic lesions, which is retained six months later.
