Up-regulation of P/Q-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channel immunoreactivity within parvalbumin positive neurons in the rat hippocampus following status epilepticus.

abstract：:In the visual system, the afferent axons from the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) to the primary visual cortex (V1) show significant activity-dependent plasticity in early postnatal life. To determine whether activity-dependent plasticity operates also in feedback projections from V1 to dLGN, we inactivated c...
