Neuronal activity has been shown to be essential for the proper formation of neuronal
circuits, affecting developmental processes like neurogenesis, migration, programmed cell …

Highlights•Functional GABAergic synapses are already present in the prenatal
neocortex.•The perinatal neocortex contains transient GABAergic circuits.•Cajal-Retzius …

A large body of evidence from in vitro studies suggests that GABA is depolarizing during
early postnatal development. However, the mode of GABA action in the intact developing …

Programmed cell death widely but heterogeneously affects the developing brain, causing
the loss of up to 50% of neurons in rodents. However, whether this heterogeneity originates …

The spontaneous brain activity exhibits long-range spatial correlations detected using
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signals in newborns when (1) long neuronal …

Spindle oscillations have been described during early brain development and in the adult
brain. Besides similarities in temporal patterns and involved brain areas, neonatal spindle …

Gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the adult
brain that binds to GABA receptors and hyperpolarizes the postsynaptic neuron. Gabazine …

Synchronous neuronal activity is a hallmark of the developing mouse primary
somatosensory cortex. While the patterns of synchronous neuronal activity in cortical layer …

Disturbed development of the parvalbumin-positive fast-spiking (FS) interneurons in the
prefrontal cortex (PFC) is closely associated with many neuropsychiatric disorders such as …

Calcium imaging is commonly used to visualize neural activity in vivo. In particular,
mesoscale calcium imaging provides large fields of view, allowing for the simultaneous …
