—A resolution of the enhancement of protein synthesis in the visual cortex of rats during first exposure to light (R ichardson and R ose , 1972) was achieved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using a double‐labelling technique. Differential incorporation of lysine was established between exposed and control animals in two fractions of the soluble proteins and seven fractions of the insoluble proteins. This suggests that exposure to a new experience of this type involves a specific effect on protein synthesis, rather than a general stimulation across all fractions.
