Cortical Plasticity: Theoretical Analysis, Experimental Results.

Abstract

An account is given of a theory of and experimental results on development and modification of selectivity and ocular dominance in visual cortex. The single cell theory is generalized to be applicable to a neural network. Also discussed, in the context of the theoretical ideas, are experiments on the modifiability of inhibitory cells and on possible candidates for global controllers of learning. Keywords: Visual cortex; Cortical plasticity; Ocular dominance; Selectivity; GABA; Norepinephrine; and Acetylcholine.
