... We compared the real-time activity of living cells in the three different regions (GC, CA3, CA1) of the hippocampus by using electrophysiology. The frequency of excitatory activity varies among granule and pyramidal cells. Granule cells tend to be more excitable. Confocal microscopy was then used to ...

Synaptogenesis

Synaptogenesis is the formation of synapses between neurons in the nervous system. Although it occurs throughout a healthy person's lifespan, an explosion of synapse formation occurs during early brain development, known as exuberant synaptogenesis. Synaptogenesis is particularly important during an individual's critical period, during which there is a certain degree of synaptic pruning due to competition for neural growth factors by neurons and synapses. Processes that are not used, or inhibited during their critical period will fail to develop normally later on in life.
