Sleep-Dependent Potentiation in the Visual System Is at Odds with the Synaptic Homeostasis Hypothesis

Conclusions:The current data suggest that following novel visual experience, potentiation of a subset of V1 synapses occurs across periods of sleep. This finding cannot be explained parsimoniously by SHY.Citation:Durkin J, Aton SJ. Sleep-dependent potentiation in the visual system is at odds with the synaptic homeostasis hypothesis.
