Ocular Dominance Plasticity in Mature Mice [PDF]
Neuron, 2003 Ocular dominance plasticity, classically thought to be restricted to an early critical period, is now described by Sawtell et al. in fully adult mice. Adult plasticity, like critical period plasticity, requires cortical NMDA receptors but involves different functional changes in cortical circuits.

Can Short-Term Ocular Dominance Plasticity Provide a General Index to Visual Plasticity to Personalize Treatment in Amblyopia? [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 PurposeRecently, Lunghi et al. (2016) showed that amblyopic eye’s visual acuity per se after 2 months of occlusion therapy could be predicted by a homeostatic plasticity, that is, the temporary shift of perceptual eye dominance observed after a 2-h ...

Ocular Dominance Plasticity after Stroke Was Preserved in PSD-95 Knockout Mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Neuronal plasticity is essential to enable rehabilitation when the brain suffers from injury, such as following a stroke. One of the most established models to study cortical plasticity is ocular dominance (OD) plasticity in the primary visual cortex (V1)

Causal role of the frontal eye field in attention-induced ocular dominance plasticity [PDF]
eLifePrevious research has found that prolonged eye-based attention can bias ocular dominance. If one eye long-termly views a regular movie meanwhile the opposite eye views a backward movie of the same episode, perceptual ocular dominance will shift towards ...

GABAB receptor-dependent bidirectional regulation of critical period ocular dominance plasticity in cats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Gama amino butyric acid (GABA) inhibition plays an important role in the onset and offset of the critical period for ocular dominance (OD) plasticity in the primary visual cortex. Previous studies have focused on the involvement of GABAA receptors, while

Experience-dependent expression of miR-132 regulates ocular dominance plasticity [PDF]
Nature Neuroscience, 2011 miR-132 is a CREB-induced microRNA that is involved in dendritic spine plasticity. We found that visual experience regulated histone post-translational modifications at a CRE locus that is important for miR-212 and miR-132 cluster transcription, and regulated miR-132 expression in the visual cortex of juvenile mice.

Spike-timing dependent plasticity as a mechanism for ocular dominance shift [PDF]
Neurocomputing, 2005 Spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) has been implicated in visual cortex modification. We created a model of ocular dominance (OD) shift based on STDP rules and compared it to experimental results. Although STDP proved to be a powerful mechanism for OD shift in our model, we found that it was unable to account for more subtle effects of monocular ...

Active vision gates ocular dominance plasticity in human adults [PDF]
Current Biology, 2023 Primary visual cortex (V1) retains a form of plasticity in adult humans: a brief period of monocular deprivation induces an enhanced response to the deprived eye, which can stabilize into a consolidated plastic change1,2 despite unaltered thalamic input3.

Temporally coherent visual stimuli boost ocular dominance plasticity. [PDF]
J Neurosci, 2013 Does cortical plasticity depend on the temporal coherence of visual stimuli? We addressed this question by studying ocular dominance (OD) plasticity in mice that were stimulated by moving square wave gratings for 6 h/d during a period of monocular deprivation (MD).

Two opposing yet complementary ocular dominance plasticities: thalamus strengthens the weak channel while higher cortex listens to the strong signal [PDF]
Communications BiologyNeural mechanisms of ocular dominance plasticity in the adult brain remain elusive. Using high-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at 7 T, we investigated ocular dominance plasticity in the visual thalamus and extrastriate visual ...
