Change of conduction velocity by regional myelination yields constant latency irrespective of distance between thalamus and cortex
The widely spanning sensory cortex receives inputs from the disproportionately smaller
nucleus of the thalamus, which results in a wide variety of travelling distance among …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor-dependent unmasking of “silent” synapses in the developing mouse barrel cortex
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a critical modulator of central synaptic functions
such as long-term potentiation in the hippocampal and visual cortex. Little is known …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor regulates the maturation of layer 4 fast-spiking cells after the second postnatal week in the developing barrel cortex
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been reported to play a critical role in
modulating plasticity in developing sensory cortices. In the visual cortex, maturation of …

Fast activation of feedforward inhibitory neurons from thalamic input and its relevance to the regulation of spike sequences in the barrel cortex
Thalamocortical afferents innervate both excitatory and inhibitory cells, the latter in turn
producing disynaptic feedforward inhibition, thus creating fast excitation–inhibition …

Developmental switch in spike timing-dependent plasticity and cannabinoid-dependent reorganization of the thalamocortical projection in the barrel cortex
The formation and refinement of thalamocortical axons (TCAs) is an activity-dependent
process, but its mechanism and nature of activity are elusive. We studied the role of spike …
