Reducing Intracortical Inhibition in the Adult Visual Cortex Promotes Ocular Dominance Plasticity
Open accessAbstract
Experience-dependent plasticity in the cortex is often higher during short critical periods in postnatal development. The mechanisms limiting adult cortical plasticity are still unclear. Maturation of intracortical GABAergic inhibition is suggested to be crucial for the closure of the critical period for ocular dominance (OD) plasticity in the visual cortex. We find that reduction of GABAergic transmission in the adult rat visual cortex partially reactivates OD plasticity in response to monocular deprivation (MD). This is accompanied by an enhancement of activity-dependent potentiation of synaptic efficacy but not of activity-dependent depression. We also found a decrease in the expression of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans in the visual cortex of MD animals with reduced inhibition, after the reactivation of OD plasticity. Thus, intracortical inhibition is a crucial limiting factor for the induction of experience-dependent plasticity in the adult visual cortex.

Different studies have found increased cortical plasticity after induction of a decrease in inhibitory activity, in some cases involving depletion of PNNs.
“Supporting this idea, different studies have found an increased cortical plasticity after the induction of a decrease in inhibitory activity, in some cases involving the depletion of PNNs (Harauzov et al., 2010;Toyoizumi et al., 2013;Lensjø et al., 2017b).”

Sensitivity to MD can be reestablished in adult mice by suppressing GABA synthesis or reducing PVBC firing rates.
“However, this potential remains in mature circuits, as sensitivity to MD can be reestablished in adult mice by suppressing GABA synthesis or reducing PVBC firing rates (465, 614).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
