- 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)
