Abstract: Recent work has shown that thalamocortical (TC) inputs can be plastic after the developmental critical period has closed, but the mechanism that enables re-establishment of plasticity is unclear. Here, we find that long-term potentiation (LTP)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-27910-3
Abstract: The cerebral vasculature is organized to supply the brain’s metabolic needs. Sensory deprivation during the early postnatal period causes altered neural activity and lower metabolic demand. Neural activity is instructional for some aspects of vascular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2116895119
Abstract: Significance The cortex is particularly vulnerable to perturbations during sensitive periods, such as the critical period when manipulating sensory experience can induce long-lasting changes in brain structure. Depriving rodents of vision in one eye (known… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gigascience/gix082
Abstract: Abstract Experience-dependent plasticity (EDP) powerfully shapes neural circuits by inducing long-lasting molecular changes in the brain. Molecular mechanisms of EDP have been traditionally studied by identifying single or small subsets of targets along the biochemical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2019/9603469
Abstract: One of the most significant effects of neural plasticity manifests in the case of sensory deprivation when cortical areas that were originally specialized for the functions of the deprived sense take over the processing of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1008664
Abstract: Sensory deprivation has long been known to cause hallucinations or “phantom” sensations, the most common of which is tinnitus induced by hearing loss, affecting 10–20% of the population. An observable hearing loss, causing auditory sensory… read more here.
