Physiologic and anatomic evidence has suggested an anatomic disconnection between the deprived eye and visual cortical neurons in cats made amblyopic by monocular deprivation. Clinical and visual-evoked response data suggest, however, that inhibition may play a major role in amblyopia. Accordingly, we intravenously administered anti-inhibitory compounds (bicuculline, ammonium ion, naloxone) to amblyopic cats and demonstrated a substantial restoration of binocular input to the visual cortex. Such pharmacologic reversal suggests that amblyopia is not an anatomically fixed lesion.
生理学和解剖学证据表明,在因单眼剥夺而致弱视的猫中,被剥夺眼与视皮层神经元之间存在解剖学上的联系中断。然而,临床和视觉诱发电位数据表明,抑制作用可能在弱视中起主要作用。因此,我们给弱视猫静脉注射抗抑制化合物(荷包牡丹碱、铵离子、纳洛酮),并证明视皮层的双眼输入得到了实质性恢复。这种药理学上的逆转表明,弱视不是一种解剖学上固定不变的病变。
