Abstract:
Sonoda et al.1 showed that dLGN neurons exhibit long-lasting shifts of tuning preference toward selective features experienced during the classical critical period. They demonstrated that this plasticity results from feedforward-input refinement, revealing a different form of experience-dependent plasticity compared to V1.
