RESUMO

Local rates of cerebral protein synthesis were determined in newborn rhesus monkeys subjected to either acute or chronic monocular visual deprivation. Chronic monocular deprivation resulted in decreased rates of protein synthesis in the laminae of the lateral geniculate nuclei innervated by the deprived eye whereas rates of protein synthesis were normal in geniculate laminae innervated by the functioning eye. Acute monocular deprivation produced no differential changes in rates of protein synthesis in any of the geniculate laminae.
