We explored the development of clustered connections in cat somatosensory cortex by using intracortical injections of biocytin and carbocyanine dye (DiI). Biocytin injections in adults revealed clusters of retrogradely labeled cells, affirming earlier reports of the patchy nature of corticocortical

## 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
Histochemical localization of synaptic zinc was examined in the somatosensory (SI) barrel cortex of mouse. The laminar distribution and distribution within the barrel field were described. At postnatal day 3 (P3) and 5 (P5), very faint and uniform zinc staining was present in the lower part of the s
## Abstract Mammalian visual cortex is immature at birth and develops gradually during defined postnatal temporal windows. In the present work, we studied the maturation of astrocytes in developing mouse visual cortex (VC). The cellular distribution and the level of glial fibrillary acidic protein
