Sensory Development: Childhood Changes in Visual Cortical Function
A new study reveals that the integration of multiple visual depth cues in visual cortex develops surprisingly late in human childhood.
متن کاملAction of brain-derived neurotrophic factor on function and morphology of visual cortical neurons
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is known to play a role in experience-dependent plasticity of the developing visual cortex. For example, BDNF acutely enhances long-term potentiation and blocks long-term depression in the visual cortex of young rats. Such acute actions of BDNF suggested to be mediated mainly through presynaptic mechanisms. A chronic application of BDNF to the visual cor...

متن کاملChanges in connectivity after visual cortical brain damage underlie altered visual function.
The full extent of the brain's ability to compensate for damage or changed experience is yet to be established. One question particularly important for evaluating and understanding rehabilitation following brain damage is whether recovery involves new and aberrant neural connections or whether any change in function is due to the functional recruitment of existing pathways, or both. Blindsight,...
متن کاملLinking Visual Cortical Development to Visual Perception
A central question in cognitive science and neuroscience concerns how the visual cortex autonomously develops, stabilizes its own development, and then gives rise to visual perception in the adult. Much evidence suggests that the visual cortex generates representations of perceptual boundaries and surfaces. The present article focuses on how the visual cortex develops the circuitry that generat...
