Choroid-Plexus-Derived Otx2 Homeoprotein Constrains Adult Cortical Plasticity
Brain plasticity is often restricted to critical periods in early life. Here, we show that a key regulator of this process in the visual cortex, Otx2 homeoprotein, is synthesized and secreted globally from the choroid plexus. Consequently, Otx2 is maintained in selected GABA cells unexpectedly throu...
