Rapid plasticity of binocular connections in developing monkey visual cortex (V1).
The basic sets of cortical connections are present at birth in the primate visual system. The maintenance and refinement of these innate connections are highly dependent on normal visual experience, and prolonged exposure to binocularly uncorrelated signals early in life severely disrupts the normal development of binocular functions. However, very little is known about how rapidly these change...
متن کاملRapid anatomical plasticity of horizontal connections in the developing visual cortex.
Experience can dramatically alter the responses of cortical neurons. During a critical period in the development of visual cortex, these changes are extremely rapid, taking place in 2 d or less. Anatomical substrates of these changes have long been sought, primarily in alterations in the principal visual input from the thalamus, but the significant changes that have been found take 1 week. Rece...
متن کاملEffects of visual deprivation on synaptic plasticity of visual cortex
TBS (Theta Burst Stimulation) and PBs (Primed Bursts) are among effective tetanic stimulations for induction of LTP in hippocampus. Recent studies have indicated that TBS is effective in LTP induction in layer III synapses of neocortex, only if applied to layer IV. However, the possibility of neocortical LTP induction using PBs, has not yet been investigated. Sensory deprivation greatly influ...
متن کاملRapid extragranular plasticity in the absence of thalamocortical plasticity in the developing primary visual cortex.
Monocular deprivation during early postnatal development remodels the circuitry of the primary visual cortex so that most neurons respond poorly to stimuli presented to the deprived eye. This rapid physiological change is ultimately accompanied by a matching anatomical loss of input from the deprived eye. This remodeling is thought to be initiated at the thalamocortical synapse. Ocular dominanc...
متن کاملInterhemispheric connections of prestriate cortex in monkey.
The prestriate interhemispheric projection system in the monkey is very extensive and complex. To begin to understand it requires a knowledge not only of the topographic organization of the transcallosal prestriate projections themselves, a task which is rendered somewhat difficult by the complexity of the gyral and sulca[ pattern in this region, but also of the manner in which this projection ...
