Effects of decreased inhibition on synaptic plasticity and dendritic morphology in the juvenile prefrontal cortex
Excitation-inhibition balance is critical for maintaining proper functioning of the cerebral cortex, as evident from electrophysiological and modeling studies, and it is also important for animal behavior (Yizhar et al., 2011). In the cerebral cortex, excitation is provided by glutamate release fro...
