Building brains, shaping behaviors: How developmental approaches illuminate the analysis of circuits and behavior

Developmental processes define the parameters of neural circuits and restrict the range of possible behaviors. Here, we briefly highlight how the developmental perspective can enrich our understanding of behavior, illustrating with select examples the value of integrating developmental and behavioral analyses in neuroscience.

Abstract

Developmental processes define the parameters of neural circuits and restrict the range of possible behaviors. Here, we briefly highlight how the developmental perspective can enrich our understanding of behavior, illustrating with select examples the value of integrating developmental and behavioral analyses in neuroscience.
