Just posted! https://t.co/i69XhsTf8t. How do #neurons wire up during #development at the right time in the right place? We looked at glutamatergic excitatory synapses in the hippocampus in vivo and found an unexpected role for NMDA receptors in a very early ‘critical window’🧵

The rules governing neural circuit formation in mammalian central nervous systems are poorly understood. NMDA receptors are involved in synaptic plasticity mechanisms in mature neurons, but their...
