Presynaptic regulation of recurrent excitation by D1 receptors in prefrontal circuits.

abstract：:Despite substantial size variations, proportions of the developing body plan are maintained with a remarkable precision. Little is known about the mechanisms that ensure this adaptation (scaling) of pattern with size. Most models of patterning by morphogen gradients do not support scaling. In contrast, we show that sc...
