Gene Expression Patterns Underlying the Reinstatement of Plasticity in the Adult Visual System

Figure 2

Effects of fluoxetine in the expression of genes involved in critical period plasticity. qRT-PCR mRNA fold change comparison between the effects of fluoxetine in rats with binocular vision and monocular deprivation. Statistical data is grouped by binocular vision or monocular deprivation, and in each part the position of the line represents the fold change of the fluoxetine treated group (coloured line) with respect to the saline treated group (grey dashed line) (BV-Sal versus BV-Flx and MD-Sal versus MD-Flx, resp.). All gene expression was normalized using GAPDH as a control gene.
