The paper investigates how prolonged activity deprivation in mouse cortical slices affects synaptic and cellular properties, finding increased synaptic strength and reduced synaptic density.

This study investigates how prolonged activity silencing in mouse neocortical slice cultures affects rebound activity and synaptic balance, finding age-dependent synapse loss and excitability shifts.

The paper shows that PARbZIP transcription factors constrain homeostatic plasticity in the mammalian neocortex, preventing excessive responses to activity deprivation.

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.
