Evidence for Activity-Dependent Cortical Wiring: Formation of Interhemispheric Connections in Neonatal Mouse Visual Cortex Requires Projection Neuron Activity

TL;DR: The results suggest that projection neuron activity plays a crucial role in interhemispheric connection development and that enhanced Kir2.1 activity can affect cortical wiring.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunohistological Studies of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Subtype 6-Deficient Mice Show No Abnormality of Retinal Cell Organization and Ganglion Cell Maturation

TL;DR: In this paper, the selective agonist of group III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR), l-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyrate (l-AP-4), hyperpolarizes ON bipolar cells and reduces glutamate release.
Journal ArticleDOI

Control of Cortical Axon Elongation by a GABA-Driven Ca2+/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase Cascade

TL;DR: A novel role is indicated for the GABA-driven CaMKK–CaMKIα cascade as a mechanism critical for accurate cortical axon pathfinding, an essential process that may contribute to fine-tuning the formation of interhemispheric connectivity during the perinatal development of the CNS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Control of Spontaneous Ca2+ Transients Is Critical for Neuronal Maturation in the Developing Neocortex

TL;DR: The results suggest that developmental control of spontaneous calcium transients is critical for maturation of cortical excitatory neurons in vivo: keeping cellular excitability low is important for migration, and increasing spontaneous neural activity may stop migration and promote dendrite formation.
