Altered Spontaneous Brain Activity of Children with Unilateral Amblyopia: A Resting State fMRI Study.

Conclusions: Unilateral amblyopia may reduce local brain activity and FC in the dorsal and ventral visual pathways and affect the top-down attentional control. Amblyopia may also alter FC between brain functional networks. These findings may help understand the pathological mechanisms of children with amblyopia.
