This study examines how early and adolescent adversity differently affect emotional contagion in rats, finding distinct effects on observer-to-demonstrator and demonstrator-to-observer emotional transfer, with sex-specific pathways.

The paper investigates how spontaneous activity guides the development of multisensory integration in the developing higher-order cortex by establishing co-aligned topographic projections.

This study shows oxytocin reduces spontaneous activity in the visual cortex by enhancing inhibition via somatostatin interneurons, affecting synaptic refinement and sensory processing.

The paper shows that inhibitory signaling shapes spontaneous activity patterns in the developing visual cortex by modulating cell recruitment and event spread.
