Plasticity of Horizontal Connections at a Functional Border in Adult Rat Somatosensory Cortex

Horizontal connections in superficial cortical layers integrate information across sensory maps by connecting related functional columns. It has been hypothesized that these connections mediate cortical reorganization via synaptic plasticity. However, it is not known if the horizontal connections fr...
