Visual experience induces long-term potentiation in the primary visual cortex
Stimulus-specific response potentiation (SRP) is a robust form of experience-dependent
plasticity that occurs in primary visual cortex. In awake mice, visual evoked potentials (VEPs) …

Long-term plasticity of visually evoked potentials in humans is altered in major depression
C Normann, D Schmitz, A Fürmaier, C Döing… - Biological psychiatry, 2007 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: Long-term synaptic plasticity is a ubiquitous form of neuronal plasticity that
regulates the strength of synaptic transmission in many brain areas. However, most data on …

TMS-induced cortical potentiation during wakefulness locally increases slow wave activity during sleep
Background Sleep slow wave activity (SWA) is thought to reflect sleep need, increasing in
proportion to the length of prior wakefulness and decreasing during sleep. However, the …
