NEURODEVELOPMENT. Adult cortical plasticity depends on an early postnatal critical period.
Development of the cerebral cortex is influenced by sensory experience during distinct phases of postnatal development known as critical periods. Disruption of experience during a critical period produces neurons that lack specificity for particular stimulus features, such as location in the somatosensory system. Synaptic plasticity is the agent by which sensory experience affects cortical deve...
متن کاملParvalbumin expression in visual cortical interneurons depends on neuronal activity and TrkB ligands during an Early period of postnatal development.
The differentiation of cortical interneurons is controlled by environmental factors. Here, we describe the role of activity and neurotrophins in regulating parvalbumin (PARV) expression using organotypic cultures (OTC) of rat visual cortex as model system. In OTC, PARV expression was dramatically delayed. The organotypic proportion of approximately 6% PARV neurons was not established before 50-...
متن کاملTranscriptomics of critical period of visual cortical plasticity in mice.
In contrast to the prenatal development of the cerebral cortex, when cell production, migration, and layer formation dominate, development after birth involves more subtle processes, such as activity-dependent plasticity that includes refinement of synaptic connectivity by its stabilization and elimination. In the present study, we use RNA-seq with high spatial resolution to examine differentia...
متن کاملAdult Cortical Plasticity
Plasticity of the brain is a lifelong phenomenon. In general, cortical plasticity describes changes of neuronal wiring and function in the cerebral cortex in response to new challenges of external or internal origin. External stimuli are environmental conditions that impose new tasks on the system. Internal stimuli can be normal developmental demands or pathological lesions in the widest sense ...
متن کاملAdult Visual Cortical Plasticity
The visual cortex has the capacity for experience-dependent change, or cortical plasticity, that is retained throughout life. Plasticity is invoked for encoding information during perceptual learning, by internally representing the regularities of the visual environment, which is useful for facilitating intermediate-level vision--contour integration and surface segmentation. The same mechanisms...
