Abstract Important functions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) are established during early life, when neurons exhibit enhanced synaptic plasticity and synaptogenesis. This developmental stage drives organization cortical connectivity, responsible for establishing behavioral patterns. Serotonin (5-HT) emerges among most significant factors that modulate brain activity postnatal development. In PFC, activated 5-HT receptors modify neuronal excitability interact with intracellular signaling involved in modifications, thus suggesting might participate plasticity. To test this hypothesis, we employed electrophysiological recordings PFC layer 5 to study modulatory effects on induced by theta-burst stimulation (TBS) two periods rats. Our results indicate is essential TBS result changes third week, but not later. coupled 2A or 1A 7 leads long-term depression (LTD). On other hand, synergic activation , lead potentiation (LTP). Finally, also show dependent impaired animals exposed early-life chronic stress.

The ability to persist toward a desired objective is fundamental aspect of behavioral control whose impairment implicated in several disorders. One the prominent features persistence that its maturation occurs relatively late development. This presumed echo developmental time course corresponding circuit within late-maturing parts brain, such as prefrontal cortex, but specific identity responsible circuits unknown. Here, we used genetic approach describe projection from layer 5 neurons neocortex dorsal raphe nucleus mice. Using optogenetic-assisted mapping, show this undergoes dramatic increase synaptic potency between postnatal weeks 3 and 8, transition juvenile adult. We then period corresponds an mice exhibit foraging task. Finally, targeting strategy primarily affected medial selectively ablate pathway adulthood revert phenotype similar juveniles. These results suggest frontal cortical input critical anatomical functional substrate development manifestation persistence.

Tracking animal behavior by video is one of the most common tasks in neuroscience. Previously, we have validated ezTrack, a free, flexible, and easy-to-use software for analysis behavior. ezTrack's Location Module can be used positional an individual applicable to wide range behavioral tasks. Separately, Freeze Analysis designed defensive freezing ezTrack supports desirable tools, including options cropping masking portions field view, defining regions interest, producing summary data specified time, algorithms remove influence electrophysiology cables other tethers, batch processing multiple videos, down-sampling. Moreover, produces interactive plots visualizations promote users' confidence their results. In this protocols paper, provide step-by-step instructions use from tips recording using analysis. © 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

The sensory and cognitive abilities of the mammalian neocortex are underpinned by intricate columnar laminar circuits formed from an array diverse neuronal populations. One approach to determining how interactions between these circuit components give rise complex behavior is investigate rules which cortical acquire functionality during development. This review summarizes recent research on development neocortex, genetic determination in neural stem cells through dynamic role that specific populations play earliest they contribute emergent function cognition. While many endeavors take advantage model systems, consideration will also be given advances our understanding activity nascent human circuits. Such cross-species perspective imperative when investigating mechanisms underlying dysfunction early neocortical neurodevelopmental disorders, so one can identify targets amenable therapeutic intervention.
