Synaptic reorganization in the degenerating lateral geniculate nucleus of the rabbit

Synaptic reorganization in the degenerating lateral geniculate nucleus of the rabbit An investigation of synaptic plasticity in the lateral geniculate nucleus has been carried out in rabbits surviving one day to one year following ipsilateral visual cortex removal. There is extensive retrograde degeneration of LGN neurons, and the altered nucleus thus provides a model for examining reorganization of optic tract axons which have been deprived of their normal postsynaptic membrane. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The Journal of Comparative Neurology Wiley

Abstract

An investigation of synaptic plasticity in the lateral geniculate nucleus has been carried out in rabbits surviving one day to one year following ipsilateral visual cortex removal. There is extensive retrograde degeneration of LGN neurons, and the altered nucleus thus provides a model for examining reorganization of optic tract axons which have been deprived of their normal postsynaptic membrane.
