Functional thalamocortical synapse reorganization from subplate to layer IV during postnatal development in the reeler-like mutant rat (shaking rat Kawasaki).

Transient synapse formation between thalamic axons and subplate neurons is thought to be important in thalamocortical targeting. Shaking rat Kawasaki (SRK), having reversed cortical layering similarly observed in reeler mouse, provides an interesting model system to test this idea. The spatial and t...
