A Critical Period for the Rapid Modification of Synaptic Properties at the VPm Relay Synapse

A Critical Period for the Rapid Modification of Synaptic Properties at the VPm Relay Synapse

In addition to cortical areas, the thalamus also displays plasticity during a critical period in early life. Since most sensory information is transmitted to the cortex via the thalamus, it will be of significant interest to understand the precise time window and underlying mechanisms of this critic...
