Vision is critical for the functional and structural maturation of connections in the mammalian
visual system. Visual experience, however, is a subset of a more general requirement for …

In the immature brain, GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) is excitatory, and GABA-releasing
synapses are formed before glutamatergic contacts in a wide range of species and …

Highly correlated neural activity in the form of spontaneous waves of action potentials is
present in the developing retina weeks before vision. Optical imaging revealed that these …

We asked whether GABA A and NMDA receptors may act in synergy in neonatal
hippocampal slices, at a time when GABA exerts a depolarizing action. The GABA A …

Calcium ions play critical roles in neuronal development, but the factors that govern
spontaneous fluctuations in intracellular calcium are not well understood. Transient …

hindlimb locomotion in the neonatal rat and organization of its transverse coupling system. J …

Motivated by the challenge of improving neuroprosthetic devices, the authors review current
knowledge relating to harnessing the potential of spinal neural circuits, such as reflexes and …

1 Stepping responses were studied in infants between the ages of 10 days and 10 months
while they were supported to step on a slowly moving treadmill belt. Surface …

We studied the regulation of spontaneous activity in the embryonic (day 10–11) chick spinal
cord. After bath application of either an excitatory amino acid (AP-5 or CNQX) and a nicotinic …
