La actividad sensorial del cerebro tras el nacimiento
Cajal Institute – News
A study with rodents led by the CSIC shows that the late maturation of cortical circuits as they are used reveals a pattern of biological economy.
A study led by researchers from the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) has revealed in a study with rats that the electrical activity of the sensory cerebral cortex after childbirth is immature until the moment the limbs begin to be used. This late maturation of cortical circuits as they are used reveals a pattern of biological economy. The results, which are published in the Journal of Neuroscience, indicate that although the sensation can be faithfully transmitted from the sensory organs from before birth, its conscious interpretation can be very late in the postpartum period.
