Description
Development and Plasticity in Sensory Thalamus and Cortex by Erzurumlu provides an in-depth examination of the structural and functional development of sensory processing regions in the brain. The book details how the thalamus and cortex establish their initial organization during development and maintain remarkable plasticity throughout the lifespan.
This work synthesizes current research on the mechanisms governing sensory system development, including neural circuit formation, synaptic refinement, and experience-dependent modifications. It covers critical topics such as how sensory input shapes cortical organization, the role of molecular signaling in thalamic development, and the capacity for reorganization following injury or altered sensory input.
The author presents both classical and contemporary findings, offering valuable insights for neuroscientists, researchers, and students studying developmental neuroscience, sensory neurobiology, and cortical plasticity.
