The paper creates longitudinal normative growth curves of visual cortex function using VEP data from infants in three countries, showing generalizability across contexts and associations with early environmental factors.

This study investigates the role of neprilysin in the development of the mouse visual cortex, finding laminar impairments and reduced inhibitory neurons in layer 4.

The paper examines how genetic pathways regulating sensitive periods and socioeconomic disadvantage interact to influence depression risk using genome-wide data and developmental gene expression patterns.

The paper develops nTracer, an ImageJ plugin for reconstructing neuronal morphology in densely labeled mouse brains using multispectral tracing.

The paper investigates whether childhood is a sensitive period for medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) encoding of regulatory stimuli, using music exposure and stress responses.

The paper investigates cross-modal plasticity in mouse autism models, finding enhanced auditory responses in visual cortex linked to E/I circuit imbalance.

This study examines how GABAergic inhibition shapes auditory responses and audiovisual interactions in mouse visual cortex during critical periods, revealing a balance of spike modulations that affects sensory integration.
