NMDA receptor blockade in developing superior colliculus prevents map plasticity without blocking retinotectal transmission. Bilateral cochlear ablation in neonatal ferrets prevents refinement of horizontal connectivity in primary auditory cortex. Cross-modal reorganization of cortical connectivity. Role of NMDA receptors in the development and plasticity of the mammalian retinotectal map. Retinal axon arbors in the medial geniculate nucleus of neonatally-deafened ferrets.
Retinal axons arborize in the medial geniculate nucleus of neonatally-deafened ferrets.
