Top-down inputs enhance orientation selectivity in neurons of the primary visual cortex during perceptual learning.
Perceptual learning has been used to probe the mechanisms of cortical plasticity in the adult brain. Feedback projections are ubiquitous in the cortex, but little is known about their role in cortical plasticity. Here we explore the hypothesis that learning visual orientation discrimination involves...
