Blockade of "NMDA" receptors disrupts experience-dependent plasticity of kitten striate cortex
Abstract
Intracortical infusion of the "N-methyl-D-aspartate" (NMDA) receptor blocker D,L-2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid (APV) renders kitten striate cortex resistant to the effects of monocular deprivation. In addition, 1 week of continuous APV treatment (50 nanomoles per hour) produces a striking loss of orientation selectivity in area 17. These data support the hypothesis that crucial variables for the expression of activity-dependent synaptic modifications are a critical level of postsynaptic activation and calcium entry through ion channels linked to NMDA receptors.
