Use of Synaptoneurosome Samples to Study Development and Plasticity of Human Cortex

Translation from animal models of visual system development and plasticity to human studies is difficult due to many obstacles in comparing results. Animal models provide important data about the neurobiological mechanisms that support cortical function and behavior, but identifying the same mechanisms in human cortex can be challenging. Many neurobiological techniques used in animal models cannot be used in humans, hindering our understanding …
