Fig. 2. Change in spine size in the auditory cortex after bilateral blindness. (A) The normalized spine size, representing synaptic strength relative to baseline (pre-enucleation), was increased; this increase persisted for 3 weeks after bilateral enucleation in the auditory cortex. (B) Example single z-section images of growing (arrow) and stable (triangle) spines before and after bilateral enucleation. Scale bar, 5 μm; Error bars are SE.
