The paper shows that clustered synapses form in distinct dendritic domains in mouse visual cortex before eye opening, correlating with synaptic stabilization and potentiation.

The paper introduces ONIX, a system for long-duration neural recordings during natural behavior in mice, enabling high-throughput data acquisition with minimal behavioral impact.

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