Early patterns of electrical activity in the developing cerebral cortex of humans and rodents
Rustem Khazipov,Heiko J. Luhmann +1 more
TL;DR: There is considerable evidence that the basic functional properties of immature cortical networks are conserved through mammalian evolution, making the neonatal rodent an excellent model for studying early cortical activity and associated plasticity during the developmental period corresponding to the human fetal stage.

Abnormal neural oscillations and synchrony in schizophrenia
TL;DR: Dysfunctional oscillations may arise owing to anomalies in the brain's rhythm-generating networks of GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) interneurons and in cortico-cortical connections.

Hippocampal sharp wave‐ripple: A cognitive biomarker for episodic memory and planning
TL;DR: Alteration of the physiological mechanisms supporting SPW‐Rs leads to their pathological conversion, “p‐ripples,” which are a marker of epileptogenic tissue and can be observed in rodent models of schizophrenia and Alzheimer's Disease.

GABA: A Pioneer Transmitter That Excites Immature Neurons and Generates Primitive Oscillations
TL;DR: It is suggested that an evolutionary preserved role for excitatory GABA in immature cells provides an important mechanism in the formation of synapses and activity in neuronal networks.

Mechanisms underlying spontaneous patterned activity in developing neural circuits
TL;DR: This research suggests that developing neural circuits exhibit transient and tunable features that maintain a source of correlated activity during crucial stages of development.
Imaging structural and functional brain development in early childhood
TL;DR: Initial evidence regarding the usefulness of early imaging biomarkers for predicting cognitive outcomes and risk of neuropsychiatric disorders is discussed.

Translating developmental time across mammalian species.
TL;DR: The comparative data indicate that humans are neurally advanced at birth relative to the other species studied, and this 'translation' table will assist in attempts to equate the neurodevelopmental literature across species with either large or small differences in gestation and maturation.

The emergence of fetal behaviour. I. Qualitative aspects.
TL;DR: The emergence of spontaneous fetal motility during the first 20 weeks of gestation was studied longitudinally in 11 healthy nulliparae, using real-time ultrasound to study the onset and developmental course of spontaneously generated specific fetal movement patterns.

Map plasticity in somatosensory cortex.
Daniel E. Feldman,Michael Brecht +1 more
TL;DR: Diverse approaches suggest a distributed model in which plasticity occurs at multiple sites in the cortical circuit with multiple cellular/synaptic mechanisms and multiple likely learning rules for plasticity.

Early motor activity drives spindle bursts in the developing somatosensory cortex.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the interaction between movement-triggered sensory feedback signals and self-organized spindle oscillations shapes the formation of cortical connections required for sensorimotor coordination.

Large-scale oscillatory calcium waves in the immature cortex.
TL;DR: A type of large-scale Ca2+ wave that may regulate long-distance wiring in the immature cortex is identified that is associated with field-potential changes and required activation of AMPA and NMDA receptors.
