Description:
Mir-132/212 is required for maturation of binocular matching of orientation preference and depth perception Nature Communications, Published online: 23 May 2017; doi:10.1038/ncomms15488 miR-132/212 has been implicated in ocular dominance plasticity during the critical period. Here the authors show that miR-132/212 regulates the expression of genes involved in visual cortex maturation, and that mice lack miR-132/212 show deficits in binocular matching of orientation preferences, which leads to impaired depth perception.
