Vestibular critical period, maturation of central vestibular neurons, and locomotor control.

Abstract excerpt

Mutant mice are a good model to study to what extent the postnatal activity of sensory afferents is necessary for the maturation of central neurons. In particular, the question arises whether the signals carried by the first-order vestibular neurons, which encode information on the head movement of pups, are necessary for the maturation of second-order vestibular neurons. To address that question, juvenile and...
