Potential of visual cortex to develop an array of functional units unique to somatosensory cortex

By B. Schlaggar, D. O'Leary. 1991

How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Development and plasticity of cortical areas and networks (2001, background): “BARRELS — a characteristic of rodent somatosensory cortex — have been reported to develop in occipital cortex transplanted to the parietal regio”
Plasticity of multisensory dorsal stream functions: Evidence from congenitally blind and sighted adults (2010, background): “As a consequence of the afferent input changes, occipital cortex tissue can process input from other sensory modalities, such as somatosensation and audition (Schlaggar and O’Leary, 1991; Sur and Leamey, 2001).”
Area patterning of the mammalian cortex. (2007, background): “For example, transplants of embryonic occipital cortex, which will differentiate into visual areas, and intoPMBSFof S1 in the parietal cortex, receive TCA input appropriate for their new location, that is, from VP rather than dLGN, and develop cytoarchitecture and the patterned expression of markers”
