Abstract
  • The visual cortex is one of the favorite models for the study of experience-dependent changes in neuronal structure and function. A number of recent investigations indicate that the neurotrophic factors of the nerve growth factor family (neurotrophins) play a pivotal role in visual cortical plasticity. Neurotrophins and their receptors are present in the cortex during the critical period for plasticity, and neurotrophin levels are regulated by electrical activity. Neurotrophins modulate synaptic transmission and patterns of neuronal connectivity in the cortex. This review summarizes the in vivo and in vitro data that demonstrate the involvement of neurotrophins in visual cortical plasticity and discusses the possible mechanisms of their action. (literal)
