This study examines how GABA+ and Glx concentrations in the human visual cortex change with correlated and anticorrelated binocular disparity, suggesting roles for excitation and inhibition in disparity selectivity.

The paper compares population receptive field sizes for binocular disparity, contrast, and luminance stimuli in human visual areas V1 and LOC using fMRI, finding larger fields for disparity in V1.

The paper examines the heritability of retinotopic maps in human visual cortex using twin pairs and finds partial genetic influence on polar angle preferences and spatial selectivity in V2 and V3.

This study examines altered visual receptive fields in albinism using fMRI, finding nasal bias and discrete unilateral receptive fields in the abnormal temporal hemiretina representation.

The paper provides normative cortical thickness values for human visual areas using FreeSurfer data from 960 participants, showing systematic variation aligned with visual system hierarchies and normal distribution patterns.
