Biography

Dr. Cooper’s research is related to plasticity in the nervous system. His most recent work relates to observations on plasticity in the retina. For example, he has shown that the quantity and quality of synaptic receptor molecules in the retina are altered in response to environmental stimulation, only in a limited period during development. Thus, the composition of retinal NMDA-receptors is altered by light deprivation in neonates but not in adult rats. In a separate but related area of study
