About the Cover
Ocular dominance plasticity plays a fundamental role in visual system development. In this issue, Qin et al. provide a comprehensive review of recent advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying ocular dominance plasticity within the visual cortex, synthesizing the intricate molecular networks that govern this critical process. The cover art creatively depicts this concept: the mountain symbolizes the brain as the central structure, while the flourishing flora represents diverse molecular components. Butterflies and bees embody the dynamic interactions between neurons and glial cells, and the child nurturing the plants illustrates targeted therapeutic approaches - much like those explored in amblyopia treatment - where specific molecular pathways can be modulated to restore plasticity. See pages 1645–1655. (Cover provided by Yanglin Qin and Jiawen Lyu)
