The visual experience-induced increase in FMRP is posttranscriptional. Quantitative RT-PCR using RNA from the visual cortex of P45 dark-reared rats exposed to light for 0-60 min. GAPDH transcript levels were used to normalize the levels of c-fos and Fmr1. Fmr1 transcript levels do not change with exposure to light, whereas c-fos transcripts are upregulated by visual stimulation at all times examined. Student's t tests; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
