Alterations in the locus coeruleus in dementias of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

abstract：:Ocular dominance plasticity may be the paradigmatic in vivo model of activity-dependent plasticity. More than four decades of intense research has delineated the network-level rules that govern synaptic change in this model. The recent characterization of a murine model for ocular dominance plasticity has facilitated ...
