Structural and Functional Maturation of Rat Primary Motor Cortex Layer V Neurons

Rodent neocortical neurons undergo prominent postnatal development and maturation. The process is associated with structural and functional maturation of the axon initial segment (AIS), the site of action potential initiation. In this regard, cell size and optimal AIS length are interconnected. In s...
