## Abstract The rodent somatosensory barrel cortex is an ideal model for studying the impact of sensory experience on developing brain circuitry. To examine whether and how interference with sensory perception in the early postnatal period can affect the development of synaptic networks in this sys
## Abstract Dendritic spines are the postsynaptic sites of most excitatory synapses in the mammalian brain. With the advent of twoβphoton microscopy and transgenic mice expressing fluorescent proteins, dendritic spines can now be imaged in the living cerebral cortex over time scales ranging from se
