IGF-1 Restores Visual Cortex Plasticity in Adult Life by Reducing Local GABA Levels
The central nervous system architecture is markedly modified by sensory experience during early life, but a decline of plasticity occurs with age. Recent studies have challenged this dogma providing evidence that both pharmacological treatments and paradigms based on the manipulation of environmenta...
