Jan Frankowski and Andrzej Foik et al. characterized neuroanatomical, electrophysiological, and functional deficits in the primary visual cortex of mice after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Their results suggest that TBI produces long-lasting impairments to V1 neurons, and provide further insight into circuit dysfunction following injury of the visual cortex.
