This study shows that aggrecan in excitatory neurons, not perineuronal nets, limits visual plasticity by closing the critical period in adult mice.

The paper shows that monocular deprivation in juvenile mice disrupts cortical maps of binocular disparity tuning and impairs depth perception by reducing response reliability in neurons tuned to near disparities.

The paper shows that neuronal tuning instability is greater in juvenile mice and adult ngr1 mutant mice during critical period plasticity.

This study shows that microglia are not required for experience-dependent refinement of visual circuitry in mice.

This study shows that monocular deprivation during the critical period changes neuronal tuning and visual circuit composition in mice by altering responsive neurons and recruiting neurons with similar tuning properties.

The paper shows that taste ganglion neuron arbors rapidly remodel their structure independently of taste cell turnover, maintaining a stable number of arbors over time.
