Candidate genes in ocular dominance plasticity [PDF]
The objective of this study was to identify new candidate genes involved in experience-dependent plasticity. To this aim, we combined previously obtained data from recombinant inbred BXD strains on ocular dominance (OD) plasticity and gene expression ...

Synaptic plasticity onto inhibitory neurons as a mechanism for ocular dominance plasticity. [PDF]
Ocular dominance plasticity is a well-documented phenomenon allowing us to study properties of cortical maturation. Understanding this maturation might be an important step towards unravelling how cortical circuits function.

Thalamic regulation of ocular dominance plasticity in adult visual cortex [PDF]
Experience-dependent plasticity in the adult visual system is generally thought of as a cortical process. However, several recent studies have shown that perceptual learning or monocular deprivation can also induce plasticity in the adult dorsolateral ...

Ocular Dominance Plasticity of Areas 17 and 21a in the Cat [PDF]
The visual system is organized in a parallel and hierarchical architecture. However, the plasticity in hierarchical neural networks is controversial across different response features and at different levels.

Age-dependent ocular dominance plasticity in adult mice. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Short monocular deprivation (4 days) induces a shift in the ocular dominance of binocular neurons in the juvenile mouse visual cortex but is ineffective in adults.

The role of eye-specific attention in ocular dominance plasticity. [PDF]
AbstractIt is well known how selective attention biases information processing in real time, but few work investigates the aftereffects of prolonged attention, let alone the underlying neural mechanisms. To examine perceptual aftereffect after prolonged attention to a monocular pathway, movie images played normally were presented to normal adult’s one ...

Adaptation of Ocular Opponency Neurons Mediates Attention-Induced Ocular Dominance Plasticity. [PDF]
Previous research has shown that ocular dominance can be biased by prolonged attention to one eye. The ocular-opponency-neuron model of binocular rivalry has been proposed as a candidate account for this phenomenon. Yet direct neural evidence is still lacking. By manipulating the contrast of dichoptic testing gratings, here we measured the steady-state

The Role of GABAergic Inhibition in Ocular Dominance Plasticity [PDF]
During the last decade, we have gained much insight into the mechanisms that open and close a sensitive period of plasticity in the visual cortex. This brings the hope that novel treatments can be developed for brain injuries requiring renewed plasticity

Cross-Modal Reinstatement of Thalamocortical Plasticity Accelerates Ocular Dominance Plasticity in Adult Mice [PDF]
Summary: Plasticity of thalamocortical (TC) synapses is robust during early development and becomes limited in the adult brain. We previously reported that a short duration of deafening strengthens TC synapses in the primary visual cortex (V1) of adult ...
