Ocular dominance plasticity, a key model for brain adaptability, is now better understood at the molecular level. Research highlights signaling pathways and critical period timing in this visual system development.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Molecular Biology
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Ocular dominance plasticity is a primary model for studying activity-dependent neural plasticity.
