Bassoon is required for adult ocular dominance plasticity and experience-induced changes in synapsin phosphorylation in visual cortex
Sensory stimulation enables experience-dependent fine tuning of brain circuits for optimal perception. In juvenile mice, brief closure of the contralateral eye reduces primary visual cortex (V1) activation through the deprived eye. In contrast, in adult animals, eye closure induces potentiated V1-responses to non-deprived eye visual stimulation. While considerable knowledge exists about…
