A screen of visual-experience induced changes in newly-synthesized proteins in Xenopus optic tectum identifies unexpected candidate plasticity proteins.

The structural and functional development of human infant visual cortex can be modulated by the external environment.

A new form of brain plasticity extends the known limits for how much early sensory input can alter the brain.

Experience strengthens hunting in larval zebrafish by recruiting the forebrain to increase the prey-evoked activity in visual areas and trigger motor activity and prey capture.

Neural dynamics during prior experience-guided visual ambiguity resolution reveal early stimulus-feature processing and late content-specific recognition processing involving large-scale brain networks.

Chandelier cells in primary visual cortex show experience-dependent plasticity, respond strongly to behaviorally relevant stimuli and only weakly inhibit pyramidal cells.

Sensory deprivation suppresses cortical responsiveness through a selective remodeling of excitatory and inhibitory microcircuit motifs, by simultaneously amplifying feedforward and suppressing feedback excitation.

Individuals with reversed congenital cataracts perceived visual events as occurring earlier than auditory and tactile events revealing that cross-modal temporal biases depend on sensory experience during an early sensitive period.

Stimulus representation in primary visual cortex rebounds to its original state following therapeutic sensory deprivation in adults.

Mice that viewed a visual stimulus whilst running showed recovery of the neuronal responses that had been lost due to early visual deprivation, with potential relevance for amblyopia.
