TL;DR: The investigation of CI subjects participating in vision therapy showed that the nearpoint of convergence, recovery point of converge, and near dissociated phoria significantly decreased and the positive fusional vergence, average peak velocity from 4° convergence steps, and the amount of functional activity within the frontal areas, cerebellum, and brain stem significantly increased.
Concurrent vision dysfunctions in convergence insufficiency with traumatic brain injury.
TL;DR: Convergence insufficiency without simultaneous visual or vestibular dysfunctions was observed in about 9% of the visually symptomatic TBI civilian population studied.
Functional anatomy of predictive vergence and saccade eye movements in humans: a functional MRI investigation.
TL;DR: Using a predictive versus random visual task, saccadic and vergent eye movements induced activation in many shared cortical sites and also stimulated differentiation in the FEF and SEF.

Multimodal neuroimaging-based prediction of adult outcomes in childhood-onset ADHD using ensemble learning techniques
TL;DR: Highlights • Features of nodal efficiency in right IFG, right MFG-IPL functional connectivity, and right amygdala volume for discrimination between ADHD probands and controls and ELT-based classifiers were superior to the basic machine learning classifiers.

Short-term predictive changes in the dynamics of disparity vergence eye movements.
TL;DR: It is shown that decreases in the dynamics of both disparity convergence and divergence eye movements can be induced using a frequently occurring small amplitude conditioning stimulus to modify responses to a larger, occasionally presented test stimulus.
