Synaptic Mechanisms for Plasticity in Neocortex (2009, background): “In the monocular region of V1, contralateral eye closure dramatically reduces sensory activity and leads to increased network excitability and spontaneous firing (Desai et al. 2002, Maffei et al. 2004) and to increased visual responses to the closed eye (Mrsic-Flogel et al. 2007).”
Polychronization: Computation with Spikes (2006, methodology): “The notion of a synfire chain (Abeles 1991, Bienenstock 1995, Diesmann et al. 1999, Ikegaya et al. 2004) is probably the most beautiful theoretical idea in neuroscience.”
Cortical firing and sleep homeostasis. (2009, background): “However, the changes in firing rate observed in vivo in our experiments may be too small to trigger the homeostatic changes observed in vitro or after non-physiologic manipulations during development (Desai et al., 2002).”
Firing Rate Homeostasis in Visual Cortex of Freely Behaving Rodents (2013, background): “…plasticity that are expressed in a layer- and celltype-specific manner and are activated with distinct temporal profiles (Kirkwood et al., 1996; Rittenhouse et al., 1999; Desai et al., 2002; Maffei et al., 2006, 2010; Maffei and Turrigiano, 2008; Kaneko et al., 2008; Lambo and Turrigiano, 2013).”
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha mediates one component of competitive, experience-dependent plasticity in developing visual cortex. (2008, neutral): “However, patch recordings in cortical slices from visually deprived animals haverevealed increased mEPSCs in layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons ( Desai et al., 2002; Goel and Lee, 2007), suggesting that homeostatic scaling of synaptic strength similar to that observed in vitro may be induced in vivo by se”
Critical period plasticity in local cortical circuits (2005, background): “This delicate balance is dynamically adjusted by circuitry in the cortical layer”
Synaptic scaling and homeostatic plasticity in the mouse visual cortex in vivo. (2013, methodology): “Events were detected based on amplitudes greater than 5 pA and 20%–80% rise times of less than 1 ms (Desai et al., 2002).”
Rapid synaptic scaling induced by changes in postsynaptic firing. (2008, background): “…and Murthy, 2003; Turrigiano and Nelson, 2004) and also occurs in vivo in response to developmental or activity-dependent changes in sensory input (Desai et al., 2002; Goel et al., 2006; Maffei et al., 2004), suggesting that it plays an important role in the developmental refinement of neuronal…”

Homeostatic plasticity in the developing nervous system (2004, background): “Chronic changes in visual experience have long been known to regulate inhibition in the primary visual cortex of rodents and primate”
Homeostatic synaptic plasticity: local and global mechanisms for stabilizing neuronal function. (2012, background): “Similarly, in visual cortex during the second and third postnatal weeks when synaptogenesis is high, there is an inverse relationship between the frequency and amplitude of mEPSCs onto pyramidal neurons, and this can be prevented by raising animals in the dark (Desai et al. 2002).”
The Self-Tuning Neuron: Synaptic Scaling of Excitatory Synapses (2008, neutral): “Evidence suggests that all of these mechanisms can contribute to the homeostatic regulation of neuronal firing rates in central circuits, although not all mechanisms operate in all neurons at all developmental times (Desai et al., 2002; Maffei and Turrigiano, 2008; Turrigiano and Nelson, 2004).”

Critical period regulation. (2004, background): “Homeostatic scaling of synaptic input to maintain this balance observes a critical period by cortical layer in visual cortex, potentially contributing to ocular dominance plasticity in supragranular layers (Desai et al. 2002).”
