Long-term down-regulation of GABA decreases orientation selectivity without affecting direction selectivity in mouse primary visual cortex
Inhibitory interneurons play important roles in the development of brain functions. In the visual cortex, functional maturation of inhibitory interneurons is essential for ocular dominance plasticity. However, roles of inhibitory interneurons in the development of orientation and direction selectivi...
