Experience-dependent plasticity in the brain requires balancedexcitation-inhibition1. How individual circuit elements contributeto plasticity outcome in complex neocortical networks remainsunknown. Here we report an intracellular analysis of ocular dominanceplasticity-the loss of acuity and cortical responsiveness foran eye deprived of vision in early life2,3. Unlike the typical progressiveloss of pyramidal-cell bias, direct recording from fast-spikingcells in vivo reveals a counterintuitive initial shift towards theoccluded eye followed by a late preference for the open eye, consistentwith a spike-timing-dependent plasticity rule for these inhibitoryneurons. Intracellular pharmacology confirms a dynamicswitch of GABA (c-aminobutyric acid) impact to pyramidal cellsfollowing deprivation in juvenile mice only. Together these resultssuggest that the bidirectional recruitment of an initially binocularGABA circuit may contribute to experience-dependent plasticity inthe developing visual cortex.
