The wiring of developing sensory circuits - from patterned spontaneous activity to mechanisms of synaptic plasticity

In order to accurately process incoming sensory stimuli, neurons must be organized into functional networks, with both genetic and environmental factors influencing the precise arrangement of connections between cells. Teasing apart the relative contributions of molecular guidance cues, spontaneous...
