The role of fast-spiking interneurons in cortical map plasticity
Rodents have a topographic map in primary somatosensory cortex of the contralateral facial whiskers. A brief period of whisker trimming causes the representation of the nontrimmed whiskers (spared) to expand into the cortex that has lost its principal sensory input (deprived).
