Topic: hippocampal pyramidal CA1 neurons

Aims: Postnatal hippocampal development is a crucial period for neuronal maturation and pathway organization, characterized by morphological changes and an increased number of ion channels in the membrane. While anatomical and immunohistochemical studies inform neuronal pathway maturation, direct electrophysiological recordings are needed to assess intrinsic firing properties and functional synaptic activity. Previous studies primarily have focused on rats, but utilizing novel tools tailored for mouse models with electrophysiological recordings offers deeper insights into postnatal development
