Effects of PSA removal from NCAM on the Critical Period Plasticity triggered by the Antidepressant Fluoxetine in the visual cortex

Neuronal plasticity peaks during critical periods of postnatal development and is reduced towards adulthood. Recent data suggests that windows of juvenile-like plasticity can be triggered in the adult brain by antidepressant drugs such as Fluoxetine. Although the exact mechanisms of how Fluoxetine...
