title: Ocular dominance plasticity in mature mice.
abstract: Ocular dominance plasticity, classically thought to be restricted to an early critical period, is now described by Sawtell et al. in fully adult mice. Adult plasticity, like critical period plasticity, requires cortical NMDA receptors but involves different functional changes in cortical circuits.
