Recovery from chronic monocular deprivation following reactivation of thalamocortical plasticity by dark exposure

Chronic monocular deprivation induces severe amblyopia that is resistant to spontaneous reversal. However, dark exposure initiated in adulthood reactivates synaptic plasticity in the visual cortex and promotes recovery from chronic monocular deprivation in Long Evans rats. Here we show that chronic...
