CORTICAL PLASTICITY: From Synapses to Maps
TL;DR: The goal of the current paper is to review the fields of both synaptic and cortical map plasticity with an emphasis on the work that attempts to unite both fields, to highlight the gaps in the understanding of synaptic and cellular mechanisms underlying cortical representational plasticity.

A selective impairment of motion perception following lesions of the middle temporal visual area (MT)
William T. Newsome,EB Pare +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that neural activity in MT contributes selectively to the perception of motion.

Plasticity during stroke recovery: from synapse to behaviour.
Timothy H. Murphy,Dale Corbett +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence from animal models suggests that a time-limited window of neuroplasticity opens following a stroke, during which the greatest gains in recovery occur, and how to optimally engage and modify surviving neuronal networks is studied.

Use-dependent alterations of movement representations in primary motor cortex of adult squirrel monkeys
TL;DR: The finding that cocontracting muscles in the behavior come to be represented together in the cortex argues that, as in sensory cortices, temporal correlations drive emergent changes in distributed motor cortex representations.

Somatosensory cortical map changes following digit amputation in adult monkeys
Michael M. Merzenich,R. J. Nelson,Michael P. Stryker,Max S. Cynader,Axel Schoppmann,John M. Zook +5 more
TL;DR: The cortical representations of the hand in area 3b in adult owl monkeys were defined with use of microelectrode mapping techniques 2–8 months after surgical amputation of digit 3, or of both digits 2 and 3.

Modality and topographic properties of single neurons of cat's somatic sensory cortex.
TL;DR: Observations upon the modality and topographical attributes of single neurons of the first somatic sensory area of the cat’s cerebral cortex, the analogue of the cortex of the postcentral gyrus in the primate brain, support an hypothesis of the functional organization of this cortical area.

Selective stabilisation of developing synapses as a mechanism for the specification of neuronal networks.
TL;DR: The alternative proposed in this article is that connections are genetically specified between classes of cells, but the final wiring pattern depends on the refinement of those collections by selective stabilisation during neuronal activity.
