A period of structural plasticity at the axon initial segment in developing visual cortex

A period of structural plasticity at the axon initial segment in developing visual cortex

Cortical networks are shaped by sensory experience and are most susceptible to modifications during critical periods characterized by enhanced plasticity at the structural and functional level. A system particularly well-studied in this context is the mammalian visual system. Plasticity has been doc...
