Region- and layer-specific glutamatergic synapse development in the nascent cortical hierarchy

Luca Discepolo, James McAllister, Rosie Russell, Sarah Apilado, Gabriella Margetts‐Smith, Daniela Franchini, Seth G. N. Grant, Cian O’Donnell, Michael C. Ashby, Paul G. Anastasiades

The paper examines region- and layer-specific glutamatergic synapse maturation in the developing cortex, finding that layers involved in higher-order circuits mature later, particularly in layer 1 during adolescence.
