Vision restoration after brain and retina damage: the “residual vision activation theory”
Vision loss after retinal or cerebral visual injury (CVI) was long considered to be irreversible.
However, there is considerable potential for vision restoration and recovery even in …

Age, experience, injury, and the changing brain
The fundamental concept in the emerging field of rehabilitation and brain plasticity is that
although there is much constancy in brain function and organization across our lifetime …

[HTML][HTML] Rapid axonal sprouting and pruning accompany functional reorganization in primary visual cortex
The functional architecture of adult cerebral cortex retains a capacity for experience-
dependent change. This is seen following focal binocular lesions, which induce rapid …

[HTML][HTML] Neuroprotection from stroke in the absence of MHCI or PirB
JD Adelson, GE Barreto, L Xu, T Kim, BK Brott… - Neuron, 2012 - cell.com
Recovery from stroke engages mechanisms of neural plasticity. Here we examine a role for
MHC class I (MHCI) H2-Kb and H2-Db, as well as PirB receptor. These molecules restrict …

Lateral spread of orientation selectivity in V1 is controlled by intracortical cooperativity
Neurons in the primary visual cortex receive subliminal information originating from the
periphery of their receptive fields (RF) through a variety of cortical connections. In the cat …

Developmental sculpting of intracortical circuits by MHC class I H2-Db and H2-Kb
Synapse pruning is an activity-regulated process needed for proper circuit sculpting in the
develo** brain. Major histocompatibility class I (MHCI) molecules are regulated by activity …
