Visual system is a well-established model for studying developmental plasticity in the cerebral cortex. Monocular deprivation – occluding of one eye – causes an ocular dominance shift in favour of the open eye in the binocular primary visual cortex. It was long thought that monocular deprivation can cause the shift in ocular dominance only during the critical period – a brief period of elevated plasticity in early postnatal development. However, recent studies showed that numerous treatments, including chronic antidepressant fluoxetine treatment, can reinstate juvenile-like form of plasticity in adult brain. Impaired plasticity is implicated in pathophysiology of various neurological diseases including depression – a highly debilitating m...
