Cortical GABAergic Interneurons in Cross-Modal Plasticity following Early Blindness

Early loss of a given sensory input in mammals causes anatomical and functional modifications in the brain via a process called cross-modal plasticity. In the past four decades, several animal models have illuminated our understanding of the biological substrates involved in cross-modal plasticity....
