It is now widely recognized that children exposed to adverse life events in the first years of
life are at increased risk for a variety of neural, behavioral, and psychological sequelae. As …

GABAergic inhibition shapes the connectivity, activity and plasticity of the brain. A series of
exciting new discoveries provides compelling evidence that disruptions in a number of key …

The potency of the environment to shape brain function changes dramatically across the
lifespan. Neural circuits exhibit profound plasticity during early life and are later stabilized. A …

Hubel and Wiesel began the modern study of development and plasticity of primary visual
cortex (V1), discovering response properties of cortical neurons that distinguished them from …

Neuronal circuits in the brain are shaped by experience during'critical periods' in early
postnatal life. In the primary visual cortex, this activity-dependent development is triggered …

This review presents a brief overview of the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) system in the
developing and mature central nervous system (CNS) and its potential connections to …

In recent years, numerous studies have tested the relevance of neural oscillations in
neuropsychiatric conditions, highlighting the potential role of changes in temporal …

▪ Abstract Neuronal circuits are shaped by experience during critical periods of early
postnatal life. The ability to control the timing, duration, and closure of these heightened …

Specific transfer of (orthodenticle homeobox 2) Otx2 homeoprotein into GABAergic
interneurons expressing parvalbumin (PV) is necessary and sufficient to open, then close, a …

Insular cortex (IC) contributes to a variety of complex brain functions, such as
communication, social behavior, and self-awareness through the integration of sensory …
