Molecular mechanisms underlying sensory-driven structural and functional plasticity in the awake developing brain

During early brain development, formation of functional neural circuits requires correct neuronal morphological growth and formation of appropriate synaptic connections. In addition, sensory experience and neural activity impart lasting effects on morphological and functional complexity by directing...
