The pulvinar regulates plasticity in human visual cortex

The paper shows that monocular deprivation in humans reduces pulvinar-to-V1 connectivity, correlating with reduced ocular dominance shift, suggesting pulvinar modulates adult visual plasticity.

Short-term plasticity in the visual thalamus

The paper investigates short-term plasticity in the visual thalamus, finding plasticity in the ventral pulvinar but not in the lateral geniculate nucleus.

Modeling Brain Connectivity Dynamics in Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging via Particle Filtering

This paper applies particle filtering to fMRI data to model dynamic brain connectivity, detecting time-varying causal relationships influenced by visual or tactile stimuli.

Short-term plasticity of the human adult visual cortex measured with 7T BOLD

This study shows that short-term monocular deprivation in adults increases BOLD response to the deprived eye in V1, V2, V3, and V4, indicating homeostatic plasticity in the visual cortex.
