This paper identifies cell-adhesion molecules that prime sensory cortical identity through thalamocortical targeting before thalamic innervation.

The paper shows that prenatal whisker ablation enhances upper lip whisker barrel definition through thalamic transcriptional changes, independent of receptor type and density.

This study shows that spontaneous thalamic activity influences the timing and spatial organization of corticogeniculate innervation in the developing visual thalamus.
