[PDF][PDF] Sleep enhances plasticity in the developing visual cortex

MG Frank, NP Issa, MP Stryker - Neuron, 2001 - cell.com
During a critical period of brain development, occluding the vision of one eye causes a rapid
remodeling of the visual cortex and its inputs. Sleep has been linked to other processes …

Spatial frequency maps in cat visual cortex

NP Issa, C Trepel, MP Stryker - Journal of Neuroscience, 2000 - Soc Neuroscience
Neurons in the primary visual cortex (V1) respond preferentially to stimuli with distinct
orientations and spatial frequencies. Although the organization of orientation selectivity has been …

The critical period for ocular dominance plasticity in the ferret's visual cortex

NP Issa, JT Trachtenberg, B Chapman… - Journal of …, 1999 - Soc Neuroscience
Microelectrode recordings and optical imaging of intrinsic signals were used to define the
critical period for susceptibility to monocular deprivation (MD) in the primary visual cortex of the …

Clustering of Ca2+ channels and Ca (2+)-activated K+ channels at fluorescently labeled presynaptic active zones of hair cells.

NP Issa, AJ Hudspeth - Proceedings of the National …, 1994 - National Acad Sciences
Electrical resonance, which in some hair cells provides a mechanism for frequency tuning,
is mediated by clusters of Ca2+ channels and Ca(2+)-activated K+ channels that have been …

Antiglutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) antibody-associated epilepsy

A Daif, RV Lukas, NP Issa, A Javed, S VanHaerents… - Epilepsy & Behavior, 2018 - Elsevier
Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibody-associated encephalitis causes both acute
seizures and chronic epilepsy with predominantly temporal lobe onset. This condition is …

Stereotactic EEG-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy for mesial temporal lobe epilepsy

Objective To determine the outcomes of combined stereo-electroencephalography-guided
and MRI-guided stereotactic laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) in the treatment of …

Association of sleep with sudden unexpected death in epilepsy

A Ali, S Wu, NP Issa, S Rose, VL Towle, P Warnke… - Epilepsy & Behavior, 2017 - Elsevier
Objective The objective of this study was to determine the association of sleep with sudden
unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Methods We conducted a systematic review and …

Functional imaging of primary visual cortex using flavoprotein autofluorescence

…, AK Mallik, JX Zhang, NP Issa - Journal of …, 2007 - Soc Neuroscience
Neuronal autofluorescence, which results from the oxidation of flavoproteins in the electron
transport chain, has recently been used to map cortical responses to sensory stimuli. This …

Putative roles for homeostatic plasticity in epileptogenesis

NP Issa, KC Nunn, S Wu, HA Haider, JX Tao - Epilepsia, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Homeostatic plasticity allows neural circuits to maintain an average activity level while
preserving the ability to learn new associations and efficiently transmit information. This dynamic …
