    Altered visual cortex excitatory/inhibitory ratio following transient congenital visual deprivation in humans

    Rashi Pant, Kabilan Pitchaimuthu ... Brigitte Röder
    Rare individuals treated for congenital cataracts demonstrated shifts in the visual cortex’s excitatory/inhibitory balance even decades post-surgery, reflected by alterations in the neurotransmitter concentration ratio and aperiodic electroencephalogram activity.
