Early postnatal development of pyramidal neurons across layers of the mouse medial prefrontal cortex
Mammalian neocortex is a highly layered structure. Each layer is populated by distinct
subtypes of principal cells that are born at different times during development. While the …

The maturation of GABAergic transmission in visual cortex requires endocannabinoid-mediated LTD of inhibitory inputs during a critical period
B Jiang, S Huang, R de Pasquale, D Millman, L Song… - Neuron, 2010 - cell.com
Endocannabinoids are widely regarded as negative modulators of presynaptic release.

Developmental maturation of excitation and inhibition balance in principal neurons across four layers of somatosensory cortex
In adult cortices, the ratio of excitatory and inhibitory conductances (E/I ratio) is presumably
balanced across a wide range of stimulus conditions. However, it is unknown how the E/I …
