Candidate Genes in Ocular Dominance Plasticity
Many studies have been devoted to the identification of genes involved in experience-dependent plasticity in the visual cortex. To discover new candidate genes, we have reexamined data from one such study on ocular dominance (OD) plasticity in recombinant inbred BXD mouse strains. We have correlated the level of plasticity with the gene expression data in the neocortex that have become availabl...
متن کاملMechanisms of Ocular Dominance Plasticity
Preface Have you ever realized that the language you have learned when you were young, the language you grew up with, will always be more permanent then any language you learn later in life? It does not matter what language you come in contact with in the rest of your lifetime, or how well you understand the ins and outs of such communication. You will think, write and talk in your native langu...
متن کاملOcular Dominance Plasticity in Mature Mice
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.
متن کاملDistinctive features of adult ocular dominance plasticity.
Sensory experience profoundly shapes neural circuitry of juvenile brain. Although the visual cortex of adult rodents retains a capacity for plasticity in response to monocular visual deprivation, the nature of this plasticity and the neural circuit changes that accompany it remain enigmatic. Here, we investigate differences between adult and juvenile ocular dominance plasticity using Fourier op...
متن کاملIn Vivo Visualization of CaMKII Activity in Ocular Dominance Plasticity
Alterations in sensory experience can persistently modify the responses of cortical neurons. Ocular dominance (OD) plasticity, a process in which alternation of visual input induces a shift in cortical responsiveness, is an extensively studied model of such experience-dependent plasticity. However, the synaptic mechanisms underlying OD plasticity are not well understood. Recent studies revealed...
