Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Establishment of precise neuronal wiring in the cerebral cortex relies on activity-dependent circuit refinement during postnatal periods. However, the nature of neuronal activity in the cortex during this period remains largely unknown. In this study, the method for monitoring activity of individual cortical neurons in awake neonates was developed. This method should be useful for unraveling activity-dependent refinement of cortical circuits during early postnatal development.
