Loss of Prestin Does Not Alter the Development of Auditory Cortical Dendritic Spines

Disturbance of sensory input during development can have disastrous effects on the development of sensory cortical areas. To examine how moderate perturbations of hearing can impact the development of primary auditory cortex, we examined markers of excitatory synapses in mice who lacked prestin, a p...
