Researchers identify three distinct cortical representations that develop independent of visual experience but undergo experience-dependent reshaping, an essential part of cortical network alignment ...

There are critical periods in development when sensory experience directs the maturation of synapses and circuits within neocortex. We report that the critical period in mouse visual cortex has a ...

The idea that low-quality visual input might be beneficial for development grew out of studies of children who were born blind but later had their sight restored. An effort from Sinha's laboratory, ...
