Npas4 Expression in Two Experimental Models of the Barrel Cortex Plasticity

Figure 4

Changes in Npas4 expression induced by training. In trained (CS + UCS) animals expression of Npas4 in the right (trained) row B of barrels is elevated in comparison with left (control, unstimulated) row B. Sole stimulation of whiskers (CS only) and application of unpaired CS and UCS (PSEUDO) do not produce increase in Npas4 expression in comparison with control side. Data are presented as ratio of Npas4 expression level in right and left row B of barrels; mean SEM .
