In this issue of Neuron, Li et al. (2013) show that transgenically eliminating thalamocortical neurotransmission disrupts the formation of barrel columns in the somatosensory cortex and cortical lamination, providing evidence for the importance of extrinsic activity-dependent factors in cortical development.
在本期《神经元》杂志中，Li 等人（2013）表明，通过转基因方法消除丘脑皮质神经传递会破坏感觉皮层和皮质分层中桶状柱的形成，为外源性活性依赖因素在皮质发育中的重要性提供了证据。
