Zebrafish unplugged reveals a role for muscle-specific kinase homologs in axonal pathway choice.

abstract：:Temporal and quantitative relations between excitatory and inhibitory inputs in the cortex are central to its activity, yet they remain poorly understood. In particular, a controversy exists regarding the extent of correlation between cortical excitation and inhibition. Using simultaneous intracellular recordings in p...
