Endogenous Serotonin Contributes to a Developmental Decrease in Long-Term Potentiation in the Rat Visual Cortex

The primary visual cortex shows synaptic plasticity during a postnatal "critical period," and its plasticity declines with development. Indeed, we found a developmental decrease in the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) in the rat visual cortex. In visual cortex slices obtained from 2- to 3-w... View More
