Abstract

2/3 underlying map plasticity of developing barrel cortex" (1), we concluded that functional and anatomical changes in layer 2/3 underlie different forms of cortical map plasticity.It was pointed out to us by a reader that the anatomical analysis contains errors.Although these errors did not affect the main conclusions, we reanalyzed the data set.Re-analysis confirmed that whisker stimulation evokes a cortical response, which spreads preferentially to neighboring, nondeprived cortical columns as originally reported.However, the reported difference between the axonal fields in control and deprived animals was not statistically significant.Further, the deprivation-induced decrease in unitary EPSP amplitude was also not statistically significant.Thus, major conclusions of the Report are no longer supported, and we retract the Report.We apologize for any confusion that we may have caused to the readers of Science.
