Loss of Stk11 in basolateral amygdalar projection neurons impairs taste aversion learning by altering the temporal pattern of taste response plasticity in gustatory cortex

This study shows that Stk11 knockout in BLA projection neurons disrupts taste aversion learning by altering the timing of taste response plasticity in gustatory cortex, not by eliminating plasticity itself.

Development of cross-orientation suppression and size tuning and the role of experience

This study investigates the development of cross-orientation suppression and surround suppression in ferrets, finding these properties are present at eye opening and not dependent on visual experience.
