Differential dynamics of cortical neuron dendritic trees revealed by long-term in vivo imaging in neonates

Layer 4 stellate neurons in barrel cortex have a characteristic dendritic pattern. Here, the authors conduct long-term imaging from postnatal day 3–6 to show that an orientation bias is established through dendritic tree turnover and selective elaboration, which may be induced by biased thalamocorti...
