Molecular mechanism of long-term depression and its role in experience-dependent ocular dominance plasticity of primary visual cortex

Primary visual cortex is a classic model to study experience-dependent brain plasticity. In early life, if one eye is deprived of normal vision, there can be a dramatic change in the ocular dominance of the striate cortex such that the large majority of neurons lose responsiveness to the deprived e...
