Article Synopsis
- Brain development is complex and involves the gradual maturation of neural circuits, but understanding the timing and processes behind this maturation has been challenging due to difficulties in tracking developing neuron populations.
- The introduction of DevATLAS allows researchers to create the first detailed map of how these circuits mature over time in young mouse brains, providing insight into neurodevelopmental disorders.
- Using this innovative mapping system, the study reveals that early life experiences can speed up certain types of learning by promoting the growth of mature neurons in the hippocampus, while also uncovering the molecular mechanisms contributing to this process.
