Classification of Visual Cortex Plasticity Phenotypes following Treatment for Amblyopia

Table 2

The number of animals, cortical tissue pieces, and WB measurements for each condition and V1 region. Rows summarize the number of runs from the central (C), peripheral (P), and monocular (M) regions of the V1 within a rearing condition. The columns list each of the 7 proteins analyzed using Western blotting. Column sums detail the number of runs across rearing conditions and cortical areas. The information for normal animals is in Table 2-1 and for MD animals is in Table 2-2.
