Physical exercise preserves adult visual plasticity in mice and restores it after a stroke in the somatosensory cortex
The primary visual cortex is widely used to study brain plasticity, which is not only crucial for normal brain function, such as learning and memory, but also for recovery after brain injuries such as stroke. In standard cage raised mice, experience-dependent ocular dominance plasticity in the prima...
