Cracking the Visual Code: Unraveling GABA’s Influence on Vision

Amblyopia or "lazy eye" is a neurodevelopmental condition that is characterized by decreased vision in one of the eyes since the abnormal visual experience encountered during earlier childhood is an early childhood problem. Despite being a prevalent visual impairment, the underlying neural mechanisms remain elusive.

The main focus of this study is aimed at understanding whether GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter, has a hand in visual deficits in amblyopia.
