A mouse model of visual perceptual learning reveals alterations in neuronal coding and dendritic spine density in the visual cortex

Visual perceptual learning (VPL) can improve spatial vision in normally sighted and visually impaired individuals. Although previous studies of humans and large animals have explored the neural basis of VPL, elucidation of the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms remains a challenge. Owing t...
